Intel Core i7-4500U vs Intel Core 2 Duo E7500

Core i7-4500U vs Core 2 Duo E7500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4500U performs better than the Core 2 Duo E7500. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E7500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E7500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4500U. A Core i7-4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-4500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
