Intel Core i7-2670QM vs Intel Pentium 4415U

Core i7-2670QM vs Pentium 4415U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium 4415U beats the Core i7-2670QM in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2670QM in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-2670QM has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium 4415U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium 4415U. The Pentium 4415U outputs less heat than Core i7-2670QM thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-2670QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
