Intel Core i3-8145U vs AMD A8-5500

Core i3-8145U vs A8-5500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5500 is faster than the Core i3-8145U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8145U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i3-8145U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-5500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 Core i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
