Intel Core i5-4200M vs Intel Core m3-7Y30

Core i5-4200M vs Core m3-7Y30 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core m3-7Y30 beats the Core i5-4200M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4200M has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core m3-7Y30. Also, the Core i5-4200M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Core i5-4200M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-4200M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
