Core i7-3537U vs Core i5-4310U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4310U 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3537U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4310U. Also, the Core i7-3537U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4310U 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.

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.
