Intel Pentium 4415Y vs Intel Core 2 Duo E6850

Pentium 4415Y vs Core 2 Duo E6850 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Duo E6850 beats the Pentium 4415Y in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 4415Y in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Pentium 4415Y has more threads. A Pentium 4415Y CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E6850 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 Pentium 4415Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
