Core i3-7130U vs Core m3-7Y30 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core m3-7Y30 is faster than the Core i3-7130U. Despite this, the Core i3-7130U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-7130U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core m3-7Y30. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Core i3-7130U thanks to a 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 i3-7130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
