Intel Core i7-6700HQ vs Intel N95

Core i7-6700HQ vs N95 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700HQ beats the N95 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N95 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-6700HQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6700HQ has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N95.

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 i7-6700HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
