Intel Pentium N4200 vs Intel Core i5 M 560

Pentium N4200 vs Core i5 M 560 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5 M 560 performs better than the Pentium N4200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N4200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium N4200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5 M 560 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5 M 560 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium N4200.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Pentium N4200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
