Intel Pentium Silver N5000 vs Intel Core i5 M 560

Pentium Silver N5000 vs Core i5 M 560 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5 M 560 performs better than the Pentium Silver N5000. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5000 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5000 has significantly more cores than the Core i5 M 560. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5 M 560. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5 M 560 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5000.

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 Silver N5000 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
