Core i7-3537U vs Core i9-9880H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9880H 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9880H has significantly more cores than the Core i7-3537U. Indeed, the Core i9-9880H has 8 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-3537U. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3537U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9880H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3537U. Also, the Core i9-9880H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3537U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-9880H CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i9-9880H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-3537U. The Core i9-9880H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
