Core i3-4160 vs Core i3-5010U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4160 is faster than the Core i3-5010U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-5010U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4160 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-5010U. The Core i3-5010U outputs less heat than Core i3-4160 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-4160 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
