Core i5-4300U vs Core i5-3317U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4300U is faster than the Core i5-3317U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3317U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3317U. Also, the Core i5-4300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3317U 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 i5-4300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
