Intel Core i5-760 vs Intel Core i7-4558U

Core i5-760 vs Core i7-4558U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-760 performs better than the Core i7-4558U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4558U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-760 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4558U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-760 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4558U. Also, the Core i5-760 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4558U outputs less heat than Core i5-760 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i5-760 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
