Core i3-5005U vs Core i7 Q 720 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7 Q 720 performs better than the Core i3-5005U. Despite this, the Core i3-5005U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7 Q 720 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-5005U. Indeed, the Core i7 Q 720 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-5005U. It also has more threads than the Core i3-5005U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-5005U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 Q 720. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7 Q 720 also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 i3-5005U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
