Intel Core i7-8565U vs Intel Core i5-6500TE

Core i7-8565U vs Core i5-6500TE benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6500TE beats the Core i7-8565U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8565U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8565U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6500TE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to 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 i5-6500TE CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-8565U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
