Intel Core i3-7100U vs Intel Core i3-2370M

Core i3-7100U vs Core i3-2370M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2370M is faster than the Core i3-7100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i3-7100U and Core i3-2370M are identical in this regard. A Core i3-7100U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2370M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
