Core i5-3340 vs Core i7-4910MQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4910MQ is faster than the Core i5-3340. Despite this, the Core i5-3340 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4910MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4910MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4910MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4910MQ 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.
