Core i3-2370M vs Pentium E5200 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-2370M performs better than the Pentium E5200. Despite this, the Pentium E5200 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-2370M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium E5200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2370M. A Core i3-2370M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium E5200 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 i3-2370M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
