Core i3-4150T vs Core i7-5600U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4150T beats the Core i7-5600U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-5600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4150T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-5600U. The Core i7-5600U outputs less heat than Core i3-4150T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-4150T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
