Core i5-4288U vs Core i5-4300M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4300M beats the Core i5-4288U in overall performance. 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 i5-4288U and Core i5-4300M have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-4300M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4288U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4300M CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-4288U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
