Core i3-1125G4 vs Core i7-5700HQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-5700HQ beats the Core i3-1125G4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1125G4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i3-1125G4 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-5700HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-1125G4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
