Intel Core i5-4210H vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Core i5-4210H vs Core i7-4810MQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4210H beats the Core i7-4810MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4810MQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4210H. Indeed, the Core i7-4810MQ has 3 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4210H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4210H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4210H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
