AMD A8-6500 vs Intel Core i5-4330M

A8-6500 vs Core i5-4330M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-6500 is faster than the Core i5-4330M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4330M 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4330M. Also, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4330M outputs less heat than A8-6500 thanks to a significantly 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. Indeed, the A8-6500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
