Core i5-3337U vs Core i7-4500U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4500U performs better than the Core i5-3337U. Despite this, the Core i5-3337U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i5-3337U and Core i7-4500U have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-4500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4500U outputs less heat than Core i5-3337U thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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 i5-3337U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
