Intel Core i5-6600 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 155H

Core i5-6600 vs Core Ultra 7 155H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core Ultra 7 155H performs better than the Core i5-6600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6600 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core Ultra 7 155H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6600. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 155H has 16 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 Ultra 7 155H. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 155H has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 7 155H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-6600. The Core Ultra 7 155H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
