Intel Core i7-3537U vs Intel Core i5-3337U

Core i7-3537U vs Core i5-3337U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3537U beats the Core i5-3337U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-3337U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3537U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3337U. Also, the Core i7-3537U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
