Intel Core i7-3537U vs AMD A8-4500M

Core i7-3537U vs A8-4500M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A8-4500M beats the Core i7-3537U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3537U 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 i7-3537U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-4500M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-3537U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
