Intel Core i5-5200U vs Intel Core i5-2410M

Core i5-5200U vs Core i5-2410M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-5200U beats the Core i5-2410M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2410M 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2410M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-5200U. Also, the Core i5-2410M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-5200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2410M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-2410M has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-5200U. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
