Intel Core i5-750 vs AMD A8-5500B

Core i5-750 vs A8-5500B benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-750 beats the A8-5500B in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500B in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-750 has significantly more cores than the A8-5500B. Indeed, the Core i5-750 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-5500B. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-5500B has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-750.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-750 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
