Intel Core i5-2410M vs Intel Core i7 M 620

Core i5-2410M vs Core i7 M 620 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7 M 620 is faster than the Core i5-2410M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2410M 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 M 620 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2410M. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-2410M has more L2 cache than the Core i7 M 620. Despite this, the Core i7 M 620 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-2410M.

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.
