Intel Core i5-4210M vs Intel Core i5-4288U

Core i5-4210M vs Core i5-4288U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4210M is faster than the Core i5-4288U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4288U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i5-4210M and Core i5-4288U have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-4210M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4288U outputs less heat than Core i5-4210M 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 i5-4210M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
