A8-5500 vs Celeron N5105 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N5105 performs better than the A8-5500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N5105 has significantly more cores than the A8-5500. Indeed, the Celeron N5105 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-5500. But they both have the same number of threads. The Celeron N5105 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.
