Intel Core i5-5200U vs Intel Core i5 M 560

Core i5-5200U vs Core i5 M 560 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-5200U beats the Core i5 M 560 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5 M 560 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 M 560 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-5200U. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
