Core i7-6700T vs Core i7-6920HQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700T is faster than the Core i7-6920HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6920HQ 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 i7-6920HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700T. Also, the Core i7-6920HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6920HQ CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-6700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
