Core i3-4330 vs Core i5-4210H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4330 is faster than the Core i5-4210H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4210H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4330 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4210H. The Core i5-4210H outputs less heat than Core i3-4330 thanks to a slightly 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 i3-4330 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
