Benchmarks
System setup
Below is a complete set of AMD A8-5500 and Intel Core i5-6400 benchmarks from our CPU benchmark database.
The former processor was tested on ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M motherboard with 4GB dual-channel Crucial BallistixPC3-14900 (DDR3-1866) memory, and Integrated on-chip ATI Radeon 7000-series graphics.
The latter processor was tested on ASRock Z170 Extreme4 motherboard, that had 16GB dual-channel Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 CMK16GX4M2A2400C14 memory, and Integrated on-chip Skylake graphics.
All tests were performed at default frequency and voltage, using manufacturer's stock fan/heatsink. None of the components were overclocked. Motherboard BIOS options were left at default settings.
The results of all benchmarks are broken into four categories: multi-threaded, single-threaded, memory intensive and graphics / gaming.
A8-5500 vs Intel Core i5-6400 single-threaded benchmarks
Single-threaded benchmarks run on a single CPU core, and do not depend
on such features as the number of cores, or Hyper-Threading
technology. Additionally, they do not utilize on-chip caches,
dedicated to other cores.

A8-5500 vs Intel Core i5-6400 graphics benchmarks
Graphics benchmarks depend on the type of integrated or discrete
graphics adapter, and to less extent on the processor performance.
Because these benchmarks are synthetic, they may not truly represent
gaming performance. However, they still can be used to estimate whether
one processor will perform faster or slower than another CPU
in games and other 3D tasks.

A8-5500 vs Intel Core i5-6400 memory performance
Memory-intensive tests or programs move large amounts of data to/from
memory, and they depend more on memory throughput and the size of
on-chip caches, rather than on CPU integer/FP/SIMD performance.
