Core i5-3380M vs Core i5-4200M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4200M is faster than the Core i5-3380M. Despite this, the Core i5-3380M 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3380M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200M. Also, the Core i5-3380M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3380M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4200M CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-3380M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
