A8-6500 vs Core i5-6500TE comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6500TE 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6500TE has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A8-6500 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-6500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500TE. Also, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-6500TE 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. In terms of cache, the A8-6500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-6500TE
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. Indeed, the A8-6500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
