Core i7-4500U vs Core 2 Quad Q6600 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4500U beats the Core 2 Quad Q6600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q6600 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-4500U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4500U. A Core i7-4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q6600 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 i7-4500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
