Core i5-5200U vs 3020e specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-5200U is faster than the 3020e. Despite this, the 3020e has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-5200U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-5200U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the 3020e. Also, the Core i5-5200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The 3020e outputs less heat than Core i5-5200U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the 3020e has more L2 cache than the Core i5-5200U. The 3020e also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
