Intel Core i3 M 330 vs Intel Pentium E5200

Core i3 M 330 vs Pentium E5200 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3 M 330 beats the Pentium E5200 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium E5200 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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.
