Intel Core i3-2130 vs Intel Core i3-4330

Core i3-2130 vs Core i3-4330 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4330 performs better than the Core i3-2130. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2130 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4330 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2130. The Core i3-4330 outputs less heat than Core i3-2130 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-2130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
