Core i5-4210H vs Core 2 Quad Q9505 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4210H performs better than the Core 2 Quad Q9505. Despite this, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4210H. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4210H. But they both have 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 2 Quad Q9505. A Core i5-4210H CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9505 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 i5-4210H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
