Core i7-6560U vs Core i7 M 620 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6560U is faster than the Core i7 M 620. Despite this, the Core i7 M 620 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7 M 620 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6560U.

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.
