Core i5-3340M vs Core i5-4200H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4200H beats the Core i5-3340M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3340M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4200H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3340M. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-3340M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4200H CPU because of its slightly 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.
