Intel Core i5-6200U vs AMD A8-5500B

Core i5-6200U vs A8-5500B comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6200U is faster than the A8-5500B. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500B in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count 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 i5-6200U.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
