Intel Core i5-4570T vs AMD A8-5600K

Core i5-4570T vs A8-5600K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4570T beats the A8-5600K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5600K 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. A Core i5-4570T CPU outputs less heat than a A8-5600K 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.
