Core i7-860 vs N150 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-860 is faster than the N150. Despite this, the N150 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-860 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-860 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N150.

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 i7-860 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
