Core i5-3380M vs Core i7-4610M specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3380M performs better than the Core i7-4610M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4610M 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 i7-4610M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3380M. Also, the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3380M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4610M CPU because of its 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 i5-3380M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
