What Core i5 model does your SP4 carry? Does anyone know where you can find the models they are using in the new SPP?
I'm sure the Core i7 are something like the 7500U (i.e. dual core, four threads) - is your Core i5 dual core, dual threads?
- chiph 9y agoIt's an i5-6300U at 2.4 GHz. 1 socket, 2 cores, 4 logical processors.
- neogodless 9y agoThat's the really weird thing about Core i7 mobile processors. They are also 1 socket, 2 cores, 4 logical processors. Just slightly faster base/turbo clocks than the i5. I dislike the naming. I only recently realized my work laptop is a U series, which explains why my 8 year old desktop (AMD quad core) is much faster at compiling the same projects...
- Const-me 9y agoMy laptop with U-series i3 builds C++ just as fast as my 3 years old quad core desktop i5. The reason is eDRAM i.e. large L4 cache in the mobile CPU. Some workloads (compiling C++ appears to be one of them) like lower RAM latency even more than extra CPU cores.
