Intel Core i5-4288U vs AMD A8-5500B

Core i5-4288U vs A8-5500B comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4288U is faster 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. Our comparison shows that the A8-5500B has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4288U.

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 i5-4288U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
