Core i3-4130 vs Core i5-4570T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4130 beats the Core i5-4570T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4570T 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4570T. The Core i5-4570T outputs less heat than Core i3-4130 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-4570T also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i3-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
