Intel Core i3-3240T vs Intel Core i7-4500U

Core i3-3240T vs Core i7-4500U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3240T performs better than the Core i7-4500U. Despite this, the Core i7-4500U 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3240T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4500U. The Core i7-4500U 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.
