Intel Core i5-6300U vs AMD A4-9125

Core i5-6300U vs A4-9125 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6300U beats the A4-9125 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A4-9125 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-6300U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A4-9125. Also, the Core i5-6300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
