Core i5-4200M vs Pentium Silver N6000 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Silver N6000 performs better than the Core i5-4200M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200M in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Pentium Silver N6000 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-4200M has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4200M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N6000. The Pentium Silver N6000 outputs less heat than Core i5-4200M thanks to a significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-4200M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
