Core i5-3340M vs Core 2 Quad Q9400 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3340M performs better than the Core 2 Quad Q9400. Despite this, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-3340M. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-3340M. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3340M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9400. A Core i5-3340M CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU because of its 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 i5-3340M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
