Core i7-6560U vs Core i5-3450 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3450 beats the Core i7-6560U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6560U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-3450 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-6560U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3450 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6560U. Also, the Core i5-3450 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6560U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3450 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 i7-6560U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
