Intel Core i5-4310M vs Intel Pentium Silver N6000

Core i5-4310M vs Pentium Silver N6000 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Silver N6000 performs better than the Core i5-4310M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4310M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N6000 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4310M. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N6000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4310M. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4310M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N6000. The Pentium Silver N6000 outputs less heat than Core i5-4310M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-4310M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
