Intel Core i5-4200M vs Intel Core i5-4288U

Core i5-4200M vs Core i5-4288U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4288U is faster than the Core i5-4200M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4288U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200M. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i5-4288U outputs less heat than Core i5-4200M 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 i5-4200M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
