Intel Core i3-7100U vs Intel Core i7-3537U

Core i3-7100U vs Core i7-3537U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3537U performs better than the Core i3-7100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-7100U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3537U. A Core i3-7100U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3537U CPU because of its slightly 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 i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
