Core i5-4330M vs Athlon Silver 7120U comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4330M performs better than the Athlon Silver 7120U. Despite this, the Athlon Silver 7120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-4330M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4330M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 7120U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Athlon Silver 7120U outputs less heat than Core i5-4330M 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 i5-4330M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
