Core i5-4300U vs Core i7 M 620 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4300U performs better than the Core i7 M 620. Despite this, the Core i7 M 620 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7 M 620 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4300U. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7 M 620 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-4300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
