In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10875H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6600. Indeed, the Core i7-10875H has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6600 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10875H. Despite this, the Core i7-10875H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10875H outputs less heat than Core i5-6600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-10875H has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600. The Core i7-10875H 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.
