Intel Core i3-4340 vs Intel Pentium Silver J5040

Core i3-4340 vs Pentium Silver J5040 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4340 beats the Pentium Silver J5040 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver J5040 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Pentium Silver J5040 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-4340 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4340 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver J5040. The Pentium Silver J5040 outputs less heat than Core i3-4340 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-4340 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
