Intel Core i3-4005U vs Intel Pentium 3825U

Core i3-4005U vs Pentium 3825U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4005U beats the Pentium 3825U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 3825U 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium 3825U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4005U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i3-4005U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
