Intel Core i5-3320M vs Intel N200

Core i5-3320M vs N200 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3320M beats the N200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the N200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-3320M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3320M has a significantly higher clock speed than the N200. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the N200 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-3320M. The N200 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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