Core i5-2410M vs Core i7-4610M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2410M performs better than the Core i7-4610M. Despite this, the Core i7-4610M 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2410M. Also, the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-2410M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4610M CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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 i5-2410M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
