Intel Core i7 M 620 vs Intel Core 2 Duo E6850

Core i7 M 620 vs Core 2 Duo E6850 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7 M 620 is faster than the Core 2 Duo E6850. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E6850 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7 M 620 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E6850 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 M 620. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Duo E6850 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7 M 620

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 M 620 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
