Intel Core i3-4000M vs Intel Core i5-3337U

Core i3-4000M vs Core i5-3337U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3337U performs better than the Core i3-4000M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4000M 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4000M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3337U. The Core i5-3337U 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-4000M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
