A8-5550M vs Core i5-4210U specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4210U 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 i5-4210U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-5550M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4210U. Also, the A8-5550M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4210U outputs less heat than A8-5550M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the A8-5550M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
