Intel Core i3-4000M vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

Core i3-4000M vs Pentium Silver N5030 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Silver N5030 is faster than the Core i3-4000M. Despite this, the Core i3-4000M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4000M. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5030 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4000M. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4000M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 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.
