Core i3-7130U vs Core i7-4610M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-7130U beats the Core i7-4610M in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4610M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-7130U. A Core i3-7130U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4610M 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 i3-7130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
