Core i5-5300U vs Core m3-7Y30 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-5300U is faster than the Core m3-7Y30. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core m3-7Y30 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 i5-5300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core m3-7Y30. Also, the Core i5-5300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Core i5-5300U thanks to a significantly 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 m3-7Y30 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
