Intel Core i5-4310U vs Intel Core i7-4510U

Core i5-4310U vs Core i7-4510U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4310U is faster than the Core i7-4510U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4510U 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. According to our data, the Core i5-4310U and Core i7-4510U have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-4510U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-4310U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
