Core i5-8250U vs Core i5-4460 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4460 is faster than the Core i5-8250U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8250U in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-8250U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4460 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8250U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-8250U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4460 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.
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. Indeed, the Core i5-8250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
