Intel Core i7-6700 vs Intel Core i5-1135G7

Core i7-6700 vs Core i5-1135G7 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6700 performs better than the Core i5-1135G7. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1135G7 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1135G7. Despite this, the Core i5-1135G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1135G7 outputs less heat than Core i7-6700 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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
