Ryzen 3 3250U vs A8-5500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3250U beats the A8-5500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-5500 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 Ryzen 3 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
