A8-5500 vs Core i5-750 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5500 is faster than the Core i5-750. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-750 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-750 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A8-5500 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. A A8-5500 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-750 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the A8-5500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
