Intel Core i7-8565U vs Intel Core i5-4440S

Core i7-8565U vs Core i5-4440S comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8565U beats the Core i5-4440S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4440S in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-8565U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4440S has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8565U. Despite this, the Core i7-8565U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8565U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4440S 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 i7-8565U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
