Core i5-6500T vs Core i7-4771 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4771 is faster than the Core i5-6500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6500T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4771 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4771 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500T. Also, the Core i7-4771 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4771 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.
