Intel Core i5-3340 vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Core i5-3340 vs Core i7-4810MQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4810MQ beats the Core i5-3340 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-3340 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-3340 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-4810MQ. Indeed, the Core i5-3340 has 4 cores compared to 3 cores found in the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the Core i5-3340. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4810MQ 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.

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 i5-3340 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
