Intel Core i5-2500 vs Intel Core i5-4440

Core i5-2500 vs Core i5-4440 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4440 is faster than the Core i5-2500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4440. Also, the Core i5-2500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4440 outputs less heat than Core i5-2500 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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. For instance, the Core i5-2500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
