Intel Core i5-4300M vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Core i5-4300M vs Core i7-4810MQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4810MQ is faster than the Core i5-4300M. Despite this, the Core i5-4300M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4300M. Indeed, the Core i7-4810MQ has 3 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4300M. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4300M. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4300M. Also, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4300M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4810MQ CPU because of its 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 i5-4300M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
