Intel Core i5-3340M vs Intel Core i5-4330M

Core i5-3340M vs Core i5-4330M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4330M performs better than the Core i5-3340M. Despite this, the Core i5-3340M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4330M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3340M. Also, the Core i5-4330M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3340M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4330M CPU because of its slightly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-3340M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
