Intel Core i7-6820HQ vs Intel Core i5-4570S

Core i7-6820HQ vs Core i5-4570S benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6820HQ is faster than the Core i5-4570S. Despite this, the Core i5-4570S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-6820HQ has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4570S has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6820HQ. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-6820HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4570S CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-6820HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
