Intel Core i7-6600U vs Intel Core i7-4610M

Core i7-6600U vs Core i7-4610M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4610M beats the Core i7-6600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6600U in all gaming tests too.

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 i7-4610M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6600U. Also, the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4610M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
