Core i5-4210H vs Core 2 Quad Q9550 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4210H is faster than the Core 2 Quad Q9550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9550 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4210H. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4210H. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4210H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q9550. A Core i5-4210H CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9550 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.
