Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs Intel Core i3-4150

Core i5-6300HQ vs Core i3-4150 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6300HQ is faster than the Core i3-4150. Despite this, the Core i3-4150 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6300HQ has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4150. Indeed, the Core i5-6300HQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4150. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4150 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ. A Core i5-6300HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4150 CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
