Intel Core2 Duo E4600 vs Intel Core i5-1235UL

The Intel Core2 Duo E4600 is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.40 GHz. The processor can compute 2 threads at the same time. The Intel Core i5-1235UL clocks with 2.50 GHz (4.40 GHz), has 10 CPU cores and can calculate 12 threads in parallel.

Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to 16 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core2 Duo E4600, while the Intel Core i5-1235UL supports a maximum of 64 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core2 Duo E4600 has a TDP of 65 W. The TDP of the Intel Core i5-1235UL is 15 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core2 Duo E4600 has 2.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 65 nm. The cache of Intel Core i5-1235UL is at 18.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.
