Core i7-3632QM vs Core i5-6402P specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6402P is faster than the Core i7-3632QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3632QM in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-3632QM has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3632QM. Also, the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3632QM CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6402P CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i7-3632QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
