Intel Core i5-8365U vs Intel Core i7-3630QM

Core i5-8365U vs Core i7-3630QM benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8365U is faster than the Core i7-3630QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3630QM in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3630QM has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8365U. Despite this, the Core i5-8365U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8365U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3630QM CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8365U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
