Intel Core i7-7600U vs Intel Core i7-4558U

Core i7-7600U vs Core i7-4558U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7600U is faster than the Core i7-4558U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4558U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i7-7600U and Core i7-4558U have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-7600U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7600U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4558U CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-7600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
