Intel Pentium Silver N6000 vs Intel Core i7-6498DU

Pentium Silver N6000 vs Core i7-6498DU benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Silver N6000 beats the Core i7-6498DU in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6498DU in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N6000 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6498DU. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N6000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-6498DU. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6498DU has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N6000.

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 N6000 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
