Core i3-4150 vs Core i3-4170 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4170 performs better than the Core i3-4150. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4150 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4170 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4150. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-4150 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
