Intel Pentium N4200 vs Intel Core 2 Duo E6850

Pentium N4200 vs Core 2 Duo E6850 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium N4200 is faster than the Core 2 Duo E6850. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E6850 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium N4200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core 2 Duo E6850 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E6850. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E6850 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium N4200. A Pentium N4200 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.

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 N4200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
