Intel Core i7-6560U vs Intel Core i7-1065G7

Core i7-6560U vs Core i7-1065G7 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1065G7 performs better than the Core i7-6560U. 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 i7-1065G7 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-6560U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6560U. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6560U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1065G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1065G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
