Intel Core i5-8265U vs Intel Core i7-3770

Core i5-8265U vs Core i7-3770 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3770 is faster than the Core i5-8265U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8265U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3770 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-8265U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3770 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-3770 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
