Core i5-3550 vs Core i5-3550S benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3550S performs better than the Core i5-3550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3550 in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3550 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3550S. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i5-3550S outputs less heat than Core i5-3550 thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-3550 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
