Intel Core i5-2410M vs AMD A8-4500M

Core i5-2410M vs A8-4500M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A8-4500M beats the Core i5-2410M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2410M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. 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.

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 i5-2410M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
