Intel Core i3-4370 vs Intel Core i7-975

Core i3-4370 vs Core i7-975 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-975 is faster than the Core i3-4370. Despite this, the Core i3-4370 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-975 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4370. Indeed, the Core i7-975 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4370. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4370. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4370 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-975. A Core i3-4370 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-975 CPU because of its 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 i3-4370 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
