AMD A8-5545M vs Intel Core i5 M 430

A8-5545M vs Core i5 M 430 comparison

In our benchmarks, the A8-5545M beats the Core i5 M 430 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5 M 430 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 i5 M 430 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the A8-5545M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
