Pentium N4200 vs Core 2 Quad Q6600 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 is faster than the Pentium N4200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N4200 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium N4200. A Pentium N4200 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q6600 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. For instance, the Pentium N4200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
