Intel Core i7-6500U vs Intel Core i5-4570

Core i7-6500U vs Core i5-4570 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4570 is faster than the Core i7-6500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6500U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-4570 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-6500U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4570 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6500U. Also, the Core i5-4570 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4570 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 i7-6500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
