Core i3-4000M vs Core i7-4510U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4510U is faster than the Core i3-4000M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4000M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4000M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4510U. The Core i7-4510U 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-4000M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
