Is the Intel core i5 6th gen is better the i5 3rd gen?

[EndlessMidnight]

I'm only starting to learn about CPUs so I was wondering if the intel core i5 6200u is really better than the core i5 3210m since the latter seems to have a higher frequency?
It would be obvious that the newer, more expensive model is better and faster than the older one but I don't know how to interpret the rest of the specs so I prefer to ask, thanks for the help.

Here's the link for the specs of both products:

The U's are ultra low power models and so tend to have lower clock speeds. Clock for Clock the 6th gen is better (maybe around 10-15% better at the same clock speed). M's are 'just' mobile variants, not ultra low power.

They probably perform pretty similarly, based on the older chip running higher clocks but the newer chip getting more work done per clock cycle.
