Core i5-4200U vs 3020e comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the 3020e is faster than the Core i5-4200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-4200U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the 3020e.

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 i5-4200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
