Core i5-2410M vs Core i7 Q 720 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-2410M is faster than the Core i7 Q 720. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7 Q 720 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7 Q 720 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-2410M. Indeed, the Core i7 Q 720 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-2410M. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2410M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2410M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 Q 720. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-2410M has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7 Q 720. Despite this, the Core i7 Q 720 has significantly 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.
