AMD A8-5545M vs Intel Core i3-3110M

A8-5545M vs Core i3-3110M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3110M beats the A8-5545M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5545M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A8-5545M has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-3110M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. A A8-5545M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3110M CPU because of its 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. For instance, the A8-5545M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
