Intel Core i5-650 vs Intel Core i3-4330TE

Core i5-650 vs Core i3-4330TE benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-650 beats the Core i3-4330TE in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4330TE 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 i5-650 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4330TE. The Core i3-4330TE outputs less heat than Core i5-650 thanks to a 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 i5-650 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
