Core i5-4210U vs Core i7 Q 720 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4210U beats the Core i7 Q 720 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7 Q 720 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7 Q 720 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4210U. Indeed, the Core i7 Q 720 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4210U. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4210U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4210U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 Q 720.
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 i5-4210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
