Intel Core i7-4500U vs Intel Pentium N4200

Core i7-4500U vs Pentium N4200 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4500U is faster than the Pentium N4200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N4200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium N4200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4500U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4500U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium N4200. The Pentium N4200 outputs less heat than Core i7-4500U thanks to a 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.
