Intel Core i3-8130U vs AMD A8-5500B

Core i3-8130U vs A8-5500B specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8130U is faster than the A8-5500B. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500B in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-5500B has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8130U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-5500B has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8130U

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 Core i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
