Intel Core i7-3537U vs Intel Core i5-2450M

Core i7-3537U vs Core i5-2450M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2450M 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2450M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3537U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i7-3537U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2450M 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 i7-3537U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
