Intel Core i3-4010U vs Intel Pentium Silver N5000

Core i3-4010U vs Pentium Silver N5000 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Silver N5000 performs better than the Core i3-4010U. 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 Pentium Silver N5000 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4010U. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4010U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4010U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5000. The Pentium Silver N5000 outputs less heat than Core i3-4010U 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 i3-4010U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
