Core i3-4020Y vs Core m5-6Y57 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4020Y beats the Core m5-6Y57 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core m5-6Y57 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core m5-6Y57 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4020Y. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 Core i3-4020Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
