Core i5-8350U vs Core i3-1115G4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8350U is faster than the Core i3-1115G4. Despite this, the Core i3-1115G4 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8350U has significantly more cores than the Core i3-1115G4. Indeed, the Core i5-8350U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-1115G4. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1115G4. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-1115G4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8350U. Also, the Core i3-1115G4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8350U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-1115G4 CPU because of its 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 i3-1115G4 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8350U. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i5-8350U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
