Intel Core i5-5200U vs Intel Core i7-3537U

Core i5-5200U vs Core i7-3537U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-5200U performs better than the Core i7-3537U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3537U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-5200U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3537U. Despite this, the Core i7-3537U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-5200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3537U CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i7-3537U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
