Core i3-4020Y vs Pentium 3825U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium 3825U 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 and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium 3825U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4020Y. A Core i3-4020Y CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium 3825U 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.
