Core i3-8109U vs Core i5-1155G7 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1155G7 is faster than the Core i3-8109U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8109U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1155G7 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-8109U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8109U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8109U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1155G7. Despite this, the Core i5-1155G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-8109U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
