Core i5-6440HQ vs Core i5-6600T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6600T is faster than the Core i5-6440HQ. Despite this, the Core i5-6440HQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i5-6600T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6440HQ. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i5-6600T outputs less heat than Core i5-6440HQ thanks to a slightly 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.
