Core i3-8130U vs Core i5-6440HQ benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6440HQ performs better than the Core i3-8130U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8130U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6440HQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-8130U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6440HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8130U. Also, the Core i5-6440HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-8130U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6440HQ 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.
