Intel Core i3-2350M vs Intel Core 2 Duo E7200

Core i3-2350M vs Core 2 Duo E7200 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-2350M performs better than the Core 2 Duo E7200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E7200 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-2350M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E7200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2350M. A Core i3-2350M CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7200 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 i3-2350M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
