Intel Core i5-6200U vs Intel N97

Core i5-6200U vs N97 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the N97 is faster than the Core i5-6200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6200U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the N97 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-6200U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the N97.

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 i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
