Intel Core i5-3230M vs Intel Pentium 4415U

Core i5-3230M vs Pentium 4415U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3230M is faster than the Pentium 4415U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 4415U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Pentium 4415U outputs less heat than Core i5-3230M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-3230M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
