Core i5-4200U vs Core 2 Duo E7500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4200U is faster than the Core 2 Duo E7500. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E7500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-4200U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E7500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200U. A Core i5-4200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7500 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-4200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
