Intel Core i5-4288U vs Intel Core i5-4310U

Core i5-4288U vs Core i5-4310U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4288U beats the Core i5-4310U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4310U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4288U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4310U. Also, the Core i5-4288U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4310U outputs less heat than Core i5-4288U thanks to a significantly 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 i5-4288U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
