A8-5550M vs Core 2 Duo T6400 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5550M is faster than the Core 2 Duo T6400. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo T6400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A8-5550M has significantly more cores than the Core 2 Duo T6400. Indeed, the A8-5550M has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core 2 Duo T6400. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo T6400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-5550M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Duo T6400. 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.
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 A8-5550M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
