Intel Core i5-8265U vs Intel Core i5-4460

Core i5-8265U vs Core i5-4460 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8265U beats the Core i5-4460 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-8265U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4460 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8265U 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.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
