Intel Core i3-2328M vs Intel Pentium Silver N5000

Core i3-2328M vs Pentium Silver N5000 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2328M beats the Pentium Silver N5000 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5000 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium Silver N5000 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-2328M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-2328M has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver N5000. The Pentium Silver N5000 outputs less heat than Core i3-2328M thanks to a 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.
