Core i3-8145U vs Core 2 Quad Q9550 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Quad Q9550 performs better than the Core i3-8145U. Despite this, the Core i3-8145U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8145U. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-8145U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-8145U. A Core i3-8145U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9550 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 2 Quad Q9550 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8145U
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
