Intel Core i7-4500U vs Intel Pentium 4415U

Core i7-4500U vs Pentium 4415U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4500U performs better than the Pentium 4415U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 4415U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i7-4500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
