Core i5-4690 vs Core i7-11850H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11850H is faster than the Core i5-4690. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4690 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-11850H has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-4690 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4690. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-11850H. Despite this, the Core i7-11850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-11850H outputs less heat than Core i5-4690 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. For instance, the Core i5-4690 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
