AMD A8-6500 vs Intel Core i3-4150

A8-6500 vs Core i3-4150 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4150 beats the A8-6500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-6500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the A8-6500 and Core i3-4150 are identical in this regard. The Core i3-4150 outputs less heat than A8-6500 thanks to a slightly 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. Indeed, the A8-6500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
