Core i5-6600T vs Core 7 150U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6600T is faster than the Core 7 150U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 150U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i5-6600T has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600T. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 150U.

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