Intel Core i5-3320M vs AMD A8-5500B

Core i5-3320M vs A8-5500B benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3320M performs better than the A8-5500B. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500B 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-5500B has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3320M. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-5500B has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-3320M

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 Core i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
