Intel Core i5-4200H vs Intel Core i5-4200M

Core i5-4200H vs Core i5-4200M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4200H beats the Core i5-4200M in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4200M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4200H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200M. Also, the Core i5-4200H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4200M outputs less heat than Core i5-4200H thanks to a 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 i5-4200H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
