A8-5545M vs Pentium 2020M comparison

In our benchmarks, the A8-5545M beats the Pentium 2020M in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium 2020M 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 Pentium 2020M. Indeed, the A8-5545M has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium 2020M. It also has more threads than the Pentium 2020M. A A8-5545M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium 2020M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
