Intel Core i7-4500U vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

Core i7-4500U vs Pentium Silver N5030 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4500U is faster than the Pentium Silver N5030. Despite this, the Pentium Silver N5030 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-4500U 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 Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 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.

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.
