Intel Core i5-6600T vs Intel Core i7-10510U

Core i5-6600T vs Core i7-10510U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10510U is faster than the Core i5-6600T. Despite this, the Core i5-6600T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-10510U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10510U. Despite this, the Core i7-10510U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-10510U outputs less heat than Core i5-6600T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
