Intel Core i5-3320M vs Intel Core i3-3240T

Core i5-3320M vs Core i3-3240T benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3320M is faster than the Core i3-3240T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3240T 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-3240T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3320M. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
