Intel Core i5-6300U vs Intel Pentium 4417U

Core i5-6300U vs Pentium 4417U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6300U beats the Pentium 4417U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 4417U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. 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.

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.
