Core i5-2430M vs Core i7-2760QM comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-2760QM is faster than the Core i5-2430M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2430M in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-2760QM has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-2430M that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2430M. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-2430M and Core i7-2760QM are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i7-2760QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-2430M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2760QM 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 i5-2430M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
