Core i5-3380M vs Core i5-4300M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4300M beats the Core i5-3380M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3380M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3380M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4300M. Also, the Core i5-3380M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3380M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4300M 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.
