Core i5-7500T vs Core i7-3820QM comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3820QM is faster than the Core i5-7500T. Despite this, the Core i5-7500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-3820QM has more threads. According to our data, the Core i5-7500T and Core i7-3820QM have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-3820QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7500T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3820QM CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-7500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
