Intel Core i3-3240 vs Intel Core i3-3240T

Core i3-3240 vs Core i3-3240T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3240 beats the Core i3-3240T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3240T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3240T. The Core i3-3240T outputs less heat than Core i3-3240 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 i3-3240 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
