Core i5-3330 vs Core i7-4712MQ comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3330 beats the Core i7-4712MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4712MQ in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4712MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3330 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4712MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4712MQ outputs less heat than Core i5-3330 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. For instance, the Core i5-3330 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
