Intel Core i5-6500T vs Intel Core i7-3635QM

Core i5-6500T vs Core i7-3635QM comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3635QM is faster than the Core i5-6500T. Despite this, the Core i5-6500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3635QM has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6500T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3635QM. Despite this, the Core i7-3635QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3635QM CPU because of its 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 i5-6500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
