Core i7-3537U vs Core i5-10500H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10500H is faster than the Core i7-3537U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3537U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-10500H has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-3537U has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3537U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3537U. Also, the Core i5-10500H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3537U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-10500H 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 i7-3537U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
