Core i5-6600K vs Core 5 210H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 5 210H performs better than the Core i5-6600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6600K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 5 210H has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-6600K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600K. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6600K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core 5 210H has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600K. The Core 5 210H 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 i5-6600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
