AMD A8-5545M vs Intel Core i3-4005U

A8-5545M vs Core i3-4005U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5545M is faster than the Core i3-4005U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4005U 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 i3-4005U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i3-4005U outputs less heat than A8-5545M thanks to a slightly 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.
