Intel Core i3-7020U vs Intel Core i5-1135G7

Core i3-7020U vs Core i5-1135G7 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1135G7 beats the Core i3-7020U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7020U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1135G7 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-7020U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-7020U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-1135G7 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-7020U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i3-7020U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
