Intel Core i5-6200U vs Intel Core i3-3240T

Core i5-6200U vs Core i3-3240T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3240T is faster than the Core i5-6200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6200U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3240T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6200U. A Core i5-6200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3240T CPU because of its 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 i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
