Core i3-6157U vs Core i5-4670 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4670 is faster 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-4670 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-6157U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4670 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6157U. A Core i3-6157U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670 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.
