Core i3-4370 vs Core i5-2500 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-2500 beats the Core i3-4370 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4370 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-2500 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4370. Indeed, the Core i5-2500 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4370. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4370 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-2500. A Core i3-4370 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2500 CPU because of its 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 i3-4370 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
