Intel Core i3-8350K vs Intel Core i5-11500

Core i3-8350K vs Core i5-11500 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11500 is faster than the Core i3-8350K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8350K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-11500 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8350K. Indeed, the Core i5-11500 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-8350K. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8350K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8350K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11500. The Core i5-11500 outputs less heat than Core i3-8350K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i3-8350K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
