Intel Pentium E6300 vs Intel Core 2 Duo E6550

Pentium E6300 vs Core 2 Duo E6550 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium E6300 beats the Core 2 Duo E6550 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E6550 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E6550 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium E6300. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core 2 Duo E6550 has more L2 cache than the Pentium E6300

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Pentium E6300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
