Intel Core i5-760 vs Intel Core i3-4130

Core i5-760 vs Core i3-4130 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-760 beats the Core i3-4130 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-4130 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-760 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-4130 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-760. The Core i3-4130 outputs less heat than Core i5-760 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-760 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-4130. The Core i5-760 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i5-760 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
