Intel Core i5-7300U vs Intel Core i7-4600U

Core i5-7300U vs Core i7-4600U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7300U is faster than the Core i7-4600U. Despite this, the Core i7-4600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4600U. Also, the Core i5-7300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-7300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
