Core i3-3227U vs Pentium 3825U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 3825U is faster than the Core i3-3227U. Despite this, the Core i3-3227U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i3-3227U and Pentium 3825U have the same clock speed. The Pentium 3825U outputs less heat than Core i3-3227U thanks to a slightly 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 i3-3227U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
