Core i5-6600 vs Core 7 150U specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core 7 150U beats the Core i5-6600 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-6600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6600. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 150U. Despite this, the Core 7 150U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600. The Core 7 150U also has significantly more L3 cache.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
