Intel Core i3-4020Y vs Intel Core 2 Duo E7400

Core i3-4020Y vs Core 2 Duo E7400 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Duo E7400 performs better than the Core i3-4020Y. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4020Y in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-4020Y has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E7400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4020Y. A Core i3-4020Y CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7400 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 i3-4020Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
