Core i5-3340M vs Core i7-4558U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3340M is faster than the Core i7-4558U. Despite this, the Core i7-4558U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4558U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3340M. Despite this, the Core i5-3340M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4558U outputs less heat than Core i5-3340M thanks to a 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.
