Intel Core i3-4150 vs Intel Core i3-4340

Core i3-4150 vs Core i3-4340 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4340 beats the Core i3-4150 in overall performance. 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4340 has a slightly higher clock speed than 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.

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