Intel Core i3-8145U vs Intel Core i5-4210H

Core i3-8145U vs Core i5-4210H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4210H is faster than the Core i3-8145U. Despite this, the Core i3-8145U 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4210H 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 i5-4210H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
