Core i3-4130 vs Core i7-4810MQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4130 beats the Core i7-4810MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4810MQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4130. Indeed, the Core i7-4810MQ has 3 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4130. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4130. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4810MQ. The Core i7-4810MQ outputs less heat than Core i3-4130 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-4130. The Core i7-4810MQ also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
