Core i5-4200H vs Core i5-4210H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4210H beats the Core i5-4200H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4200H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i5-4210H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200H. Also, the Core i5-4210H has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-4200H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
