Core i7-920 vs Core 2 Duo E7500 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-920 beats the Core 2 Duo E7500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E7500 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-920 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core 2 Duo E7500 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E7500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E7500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-920. The Core 2 Duo E7500 outputs less heat than Core i7-920 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-920 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core 2 Duo E7500
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 i7-920 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
