Intel Core i7-3537U vs Intel Core i3-2100

Core i7-3537U vs Core i3-2100 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-2100 performs better than the Core i7-3537U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3537U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-2100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3537U. A Core i7-3537U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2100 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-3537U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
