Core i3-8145U vs Core i5-4210M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-8145U beats the Core i5-4210M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4210M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4210M 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 i5-4210M 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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
