Core i5-1135G7 vs Core i5-3230M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1135G7 is faster than the Core i5-3230M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3230M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1135G7 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-3230M. Indeed, the Core i5-1135G7 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-3230M. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3230M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3230M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1135G7. Despite this, the Core i5-1135G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1135G7 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3230M 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 i5-1135G7 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
