Core i5-750 vs Core i7-860 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-750 is faster than the Core i7-860. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-860 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-860 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-860 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-750. Also, the Core i7-860 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-750 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
