Intel Core i3-7130U vs Intel N150

Core i3-7130U vs N150 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the N150 performs better than the Core i3-7130U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7130U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the N150 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-7130U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-7130U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N150.

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.
