Core i7-3520M vs Core i7-930 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-930 is faster than the Core i7-3520M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3520M in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-930 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-3520M. Indeed, the Core i7-930 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-3520M. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3520M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3520M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-930. Also, the Core i7-3520M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3520M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-930 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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 i7-3520M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
