Core i5-4460 vs Core i7-3635QM benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4460 is faster than the Core i7-3635QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3635QM in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3635QM has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4460 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3635QM. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i7-3635QM outputs less heat than Core i5-4460 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i5-4460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
