Intel Core i5-6500T vs Intel Core i5-3570K

Core i5-6500T vs Core i5-3570K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3570K 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 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 i5-3570K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500T. Also, the Core i5-3570K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3570K CPU because of its significantly 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.
