Intel Core i5-6500T vs Intel Core i3-1115G4

Core i5-6500T vs Core i3-1115G4 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1115G4 performs better than the Core i5-6500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6500T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6500T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-1115G4 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-1115G4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500T. Also, the Core i3-1115G4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1115G4 outputs less heat than Core i5-6500T thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-6500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
