Core i7-4610M vs Core 2 Duo E7500 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4610M performs better than the Core 2 Duo E7500. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E7500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4610M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Duo E7500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4610M. A Core i7-4610M CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7500 CPU because of its 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 i7-4610M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
