Intel Core i5-7500 vs Intel Core i3-1005G1

Core i5-7500 vs Core i3-1005G1 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7500 is faster than the Core i3-1005G1. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1005G1 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-7500 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-1005G1 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1005G1. Also, the Core i5-7500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1005G1 outputs less heat than Core i5-7500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-7500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-1005G1. The Core i5-7500 also has significantly 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. For instance, the Core i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
