Intel Core i3-6157U vs Intel Core i3-4330

Core i3-6157U vs Core i3-4330 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4330 performs better than the Core i3-6157U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6157U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4330 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6157U. A Core i3-6157U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4330 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 i3-6157U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
