Core i7-6560U vs Core i5-3470S comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3470S 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 i5-3470S 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3470S has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6560U. Also, the Core i5-3470S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6560U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3470S 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 i7-6560U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
