Core i3-5005U vs Core m5-6Y57 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-5005U performs better than the Core m5-6Y57. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core m5-6Y57 in all gaming tests too.

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 i3-5005U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core m5-6Y57. The Core m5-6Y57 outputs less heat than Core i3-5005U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core m5-6Y57 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-5005U. The Core m5-6Y57 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-5005U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
