A8-5500 vs Celeron J6412 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5500 is faster than the Celeron J6412. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J6412 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron J6412 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A8-5500 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Celeron J6412 outputs less heat than A8-5500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A8-5500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
