Intel Core i3-2350M vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200

Core i3-2350M vs Core 2 Quad Q8200 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2350M is faster than the Core 2 Quad Q8200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q8200 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-2350M has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-2350M. A Core i3-2350M CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU because of its significantly 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 i3-2350M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
