Core i5-4300U vs Core i5 M 560 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4300U performs better than the Core i5 M 560. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5 M 560 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 M 560 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4300U. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

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 i5-4300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
