Core i5-3380M vs Core i7-4558U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3380M is faster than the Core i7-4558U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4558U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3380M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4558U. Also, the Core i5-3380M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4558U outputs less heat than Core i5-3380M thanks to a 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.
