A8-5550M vs Core i3-4000M benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4000M beats the A8-5550M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5550M in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A8-5550M has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4000M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4000M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-5550M. A A8-5550M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4000M CPU because of its 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 A8-5550M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
