Core i3-4030U vs Core 2 Duo E7500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Duo E7500 beats the Core i3-4030U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4030U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4030U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E7500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4030U. A Core i3-4030U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-4030U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
