Core i5-6440HQ vs Core i5-4570 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4570 beats the Core i5-6440HQ in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-6440HQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4570 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6440HQ. Also, the Core i5-4570 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6440HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4570 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-6440HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
