Intel Core i5-6600T vs Intel Core i7-2760QM

Core i5-6600T vs Core i7-2760QM comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-2760QM 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 i7-2760QM has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2760QM. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-6600T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2760QM CPU because of its slightly 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.
