Core i7-6560U vs Core i7-4510U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6560U performs better than the Core i7-4510U. Despite this, the Core i7-4510U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6560U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4510U. Also, the Core i7-6560U 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.

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.
