A8-7600 vs Core i5-3550S benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A8-7600 performs better than the Core i5-3550S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3550S in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-3550S has significantly more cores than the A8-7600. Indeed, the Core i5-3550S has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-7600. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3550S. Also, the A8-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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. Indeed, the A8-7600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
