A8-7650K vs Core i5-3550S comparison
In our benchmarks, the A8-7650K beats the Core i5-3550S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3550S in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-3550S has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A8-7650K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-7650K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3550S. Also, the A8-7650K 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.
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 A8-7650K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
