A8-5550M vs Celeron 1005M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A8-5550M beats the Celeron 1005M in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron 1005M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A8-5550M has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron 1005M that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron 1005M. Our comparison shows that the A8-5550M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron 1005M. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 A8-5550M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
