Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Core i5-6300HQ vs Core i7-4810MQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4810MQ is faster than the Core i5-6300HQ. Despite this, the Core i5-6300HQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6300HQ has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4810MQ that has 3 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the Core i5-6300HQ. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ. Also, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6300HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4810MQ CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
