Intel Core i7-6560U vs Intel Core m3-7Y30

Core i7-6560U vs Core m3-7Y30 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6560U beats the Core m3-7Y30 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core m3-7Y30 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 m3-7Y30. Also, the Core i7-6560U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Core i7-6560U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-6560U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
