Pentium Silver N5030 vs A8-5500B specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A8-5500B performs better than the Pentium Silver N5030. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5030 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores than the A8-5500B. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5030 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 significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030.

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 Silver N5030 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
