Core i5-4570T vs A8-5500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A8-5500 beats the Core i5-4570T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4570T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i5-4570T 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 i5-4570T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
