Core i5-5200U vs Core i7-4510U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-5200U is faster than the Core i7-4510U. Despite this, the Core i7-4510U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i5-5200U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4510U. 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 i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
