Intel Core i5-6402P vs Intel Core i7-4702MQ

Core i5-6402P vs Core i7-4702MQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6402P beats the Core i7-4702MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4702MQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4702MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4702MQ. Also, the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4702MQ outputs less heat than Core i5-6402P thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-6402P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4702MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i5-6402P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
