Intel Core i7-4600M vs Intel Pentium Silver N6000

Core i7-4600M vs Pentium Silver N6000 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Silver N6000 is faster than the Core i7-4600M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4600M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N6000 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4600M. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N6000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-4600M. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4600M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N6000. The Pentium Silver N6000 outputs less heat than Core i7-4600M thanks to a 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 i7-4600M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
