A8-5545M vs Celeron G550 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5545M is faster than the Celeron G550. Despite this, the Celeron G550 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A8-5545M has significantly more cores than the Celeron G550. Indeed, the A8-5545M has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Celeron G550. It also has more threads than the Celeron G550. A A8-5545M CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G550 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. For instance, the A8-5545M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
