Core i3-4010U vs Core 2 Quad Q8200 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Quad Q8200 beats the Core i3-4010U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4010U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4010U. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4010U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4010U. A Core i3-4010U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU because of its 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 i3-4010U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
