Core i5-3340 vs Core i7-2860QM specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3340 performs better than the Core i7-2860QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2860QM in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-2860QM has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2860QM. Despite this, the Core i7-2860QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-2860QM outputs less heat than Core i5-3340 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 i5-3340 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
