Core i3-6006U vs Core i5-3330 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3330 is faster than the Core i3-6006U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6006U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-3330 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6006U. Indeed, the Core i5-3330 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6006U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3330 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-6006U. A Core i3-6006U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3330 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-6006U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
