Core i7-3537U vs Pentium 5405U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3537U beats the Pentium 5405U in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium 5405U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Pentium 5405U 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.
