Intel Core i7-4610M vs Intel Core i7-860

Core i7-4610M vs Core i7-860 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-860 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-860 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4610M that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4610M. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-860. Also, the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4610M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-860 CPU because of its 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 i7-4610M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
