Intel Core i5-2500K vs Intel Core 7 150U

Core i5-2500K vs Core 7 150U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 7 150U is faster than the Core i5-2500K. Despite this, the Core i5-2500K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-2500K. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-2500K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2500K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-2500K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 150U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-2500K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
