AMD A8-5500 vs Intel Core i3-4150T

A8-5500 vs Core i3-4150T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A8-5500 beats the Core i3-4150T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4150T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Core i3-4150T 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.
