Core i3-1115G4 vs Core i3-1215U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1215U is faster than the Core i3-1115G4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1115G4 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-1115G4 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1115G4. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-1115G4 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1215U outputs less heat than Core i3-1115G4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-1115G4. The Core i3-1215U also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-1115G4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
