Intel Core i5-4210H vs Intel Core i7-4600M

Core i5-4210H vs Core i7-4600M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4600M is faster than the Core i5-4210H. Despite this, the Core i5-4210H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i5-4210H and Core i7-4600M have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-4600M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4600M outputs less heat than Core i5-4210H thanks to a slightly 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 i5-4210H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
