Intel Core i7-4610M vs Intel Core i7-5600U

Core i7-4610M vs Core i7-5600U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-5600U performs better than the Core i7-4610M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4610M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5600U. Also, the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-5600U outputs less heat than Core i7-4610M 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 i7-4610M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
