Core i5-6300U vs Core i3-4150 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4150 is faster than the Core i5-6300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4150 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6300U. A Core i5-6300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4150 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
