Core i5-4200U vs Core i5-650 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-650 is faster than the Core i5-4200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-650 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4200U. Also, the Core i5-650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-650 CPU because of its 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 i5-4200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
