Core i5-760 vs Core i3-4170 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4170 is faster than the Core i5-760. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-760 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-760 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4170. Indeed, the Core i5-760 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4170. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4170 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. The Core i3-4170 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.

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