Core i3-3240 vs Core i5-750 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-750 beats the Core i3-3240 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3240 in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-750 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-3240 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-3240 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-750. A Core i3-3240 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-750 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-3240 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
