A8-5545M vs Core i5-4210U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4210U beats the A8-5545M in overall performance. Despite this, the A8-5545M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the A8-5545M has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-4210U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i5-4210U 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.

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.
