Core i3-2328M vs Core 2 Duo E7500 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Duo E7500 performs better than the Core i3-2328M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2328M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-2328M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E7500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2328M. A Core i3-2328M CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-2328M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
