Pentium G3260 vs A8-5500B benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3260 beats the A8-5500B in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500B in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the A8-5500B has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-5500B.

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. For instance, the Pentium G3260 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
