Intel Core i3-8145U vs Intel Core i7-6560U

Core i3-8145U vs Core i7-6560U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8145U is faster than the Core i7-6560U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6560U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6560U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8145U. Despite this, the Core i3-8145U has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
