Intel Core i7-7500U vs Intel Core i5-4310M

Core i7-7500U vs Core i5-4310M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4310M performs better than the Core i7-7500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7500U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Both the Core i7-7500U and Core i5-4310M have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-7500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4310M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
