Core i7-3520M vs N200 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3520M is faster than the N200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N200 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the N200 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-3520M. Indeed, the N200 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-3520M. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3520M has a significantly higher clock speed than the N200.

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 i7-3520M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
