Core i3-2370M vs Core i3-4005U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4005U beats the Core i3-2370M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2370M 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 i3-2370M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4005U. The Core i3-4005U outputs less heat than Core i3-2370M 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 i3-2370M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
