Intel Core i7-4610M vs Intel Core i7-8500Y

Core i7-4610M vs Core i7-8500Y comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8500Y is faster 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4610M has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8500Y. Despite this, the Core i7-8500Y has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-8500Y 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.
