Intel Core i7-3537U vs Intel Core i5-4200U

Core i7-3537U vs Core i5-4200U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3537U beats the Core i5-4200U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200U 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3537U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4200U. Also, the Core i7-3537U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4200U outputs less heat than Core i7-3537U thanks to a slightly 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.
