Intel Core i5-10500T vs Intel Core i7-3930K

Core i5-10500T vs Core i7-3930K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10500T is faster than the Core i7-3930K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3930K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3930K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10500T. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-10500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3930K 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 i5-10500T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
