When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-8109U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4300U. Also, the Core i3-8109U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4300U outputs less heat than Core i3-8109U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i3-8109U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-4300U. The Core i3-8109U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i3-8109U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
