Intel Core i3-4000M vs Intel Core i3-4030U

Core i3-4000M vs Core i3-4030U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4000M is faster than the Core i3-4030U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4030U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4000M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4030U. The Core i3-4030U outputs less heat than Core i3-4000M 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 i3-4000M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
