Core i5-2430M vs N200 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the N200 is faster than the Core i5-2430M. Despite this, the Core i5-2430M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the N200 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-2430M. Indeed, the N200 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-2430M. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-2430M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N200.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-2430M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
