Core i7-7500U vs Core i7-930 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-930 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.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-930 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-7500U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-930 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7500U. Despite this, the Core i7-7500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-930 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.
