Core i3-8109U vs Core i7-4610M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4610M 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i3-8109U and Core i7-4610M have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-8109U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4610M CPU because of its slightly 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 i3-8109U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
