Core i3-8145U vs Core i5-3320M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-8145U beats the Core i5-3320M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3320M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count 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 i3-8145U. Despite this, the Core i3-8145U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-8145U 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 info from our database shows that the Core i3-8145U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-3320M. The Core i3-8145U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
