Core i3-2370M vs Core i5-3337U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2370M is faster than the Core i5-3337U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3337U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-2370M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3337U. The Core i5-3337U 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.

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 i3-2370M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
