Intel Core i5-7200U vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

Core i5-7200U vs Pentium Silver N5030 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7200U is faster than the Pentium Silver N5030. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5030 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-7200U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7200U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 outputs less heat than Core i5-7200U 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 i5-7200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
