Core i3-6006U vs Core i3-5005U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6006U is faster than the Core i3-5005U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-5005U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i3-6006U and Core i3-5005U are identical in this regard. 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.

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 i3-6006U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
