Core i3-8130U vs Core i5-3320M benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-8130U beats the Core i5-3320M in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-3320M 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3320M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8130U. Despite this, the Core i3-8130U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-8130U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3320M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-8130U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-3320M. The Core i3-8130U 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 i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
