Intel Core i5-3320M vs Intel Core i7-4710MQ

Core i5-3320M vs Core i7-4710MQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4710MQ is faster than the Core i5-3320M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3320M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4710MQ has significantly more cores than the Core i5-3320M. Indeed, the Core i7-4710MQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-3320M. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3320M. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3320M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4710MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4710MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3320M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4710MQ CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4710MQ has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-3320M. The Core i7-4710MQ also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
