Intel Core i7-7500U vs Intel Core i5-4300M

Core i7-7500U vs Core i5-4300M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4300M beats the Core i7-7500U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-7500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4300M. Also, the Core i7-7500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4300M 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 i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
