Intel Core i7-3537U vs AMD A8-5545M

Core i7-3537U vs A8-5545M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3537U is faster than the A8-5545M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5545M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A8-5545M has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-3537U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. A Core i7-3537U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-5545M CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-3537U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
