Core i5-3330 vs Core i5-3340 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3340 performs better than the Core i5-3330. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3330 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3330. Also, the Core i5-3340 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.

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. For instance, the Core i5-3330 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
