Core i3-8130U vs Core i5-3340M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3340M beats the Core i3-8130U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8130U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3340M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8130U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i3-8130U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3340M CPU because of its significantly 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 i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
