Intel Core i7-6700T vs Intel Core i7-4600M

Core i7-6700T vs Core i7-4600M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700T beats the Core i7-4600M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4600M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-6700T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4600M that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4600M. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4600M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6700T. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-6700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4600M CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-6700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
