Pentium G4400 vs A8-5500B specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G4400 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 G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-5500B. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-5500B has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium G4400

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 Pentium G4400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
