Intel Core i3 M 330 vs Intel Pentium E5200

Core i3 M 330 vs Pentium E5200 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium E5200 beats the Core i3 M 330 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3 M 330 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3 M 330 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium E5200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3 M 330. In terms of cache, the Pentium E5200 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3 M 330

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 M 330 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
