Intel Core i5-3337U vs Intel Pentium N4200

Core i5-3337U vs Pentium N4200 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3337U beats the Pentium N4200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N4200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium N4200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-3337U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3337U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium N4200. The Pentium N4200 outputs less heat than Core i5-3337U 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. Indeed, the Core i5-3337U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
