Core i3-4030U vs Core 2 Duo E7200 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4030U is faster than the Core 2 Duo E7200. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E7200 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-4030U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E7200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4030U. A Core i3-4030U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7200 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 i3-4030U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
