Core i3-3240T vs Core i5-3337U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3240T 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 i3-3240T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3337U. The Core i5-3337U outputs less heat than Core i3-3240T thanks to a 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 i3-3240T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
