Core i7-6600U vs Core i5-3470S comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3470S performs better than the Core i7-6600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6600U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-3470S has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6600U. Indeed, the Core i5-3470S has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-6600U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3470S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6600U. Also, the Core i5-3470S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6600U 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 i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
