Core i5-5200U vs Core i3-2370M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-5200U is faster than the Core i3-2370M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2370M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-2370M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-5200U. A Core i5-5200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2370M CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
