Intel Core i3-4330 vs Intel Core i5-4330M

Core i3-4330 vs Core i5-4330M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4330M beats the Core i3-4330 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-4330 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4330 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4330M. The Core i5-4330M outputs less heat than Core i3-4330 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-4330 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
