Intel Core i5-7260U vs Intel Core i5-4200H

Core i5-7260U vs Core i5-4200H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7260U performs better than the Core i5-4200H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4200H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7260U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-7260U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4200H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-7260U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
