Intel Core i7-3537U vs Intel Pentium G2120

Core i7-3537U vs Pentium G2120 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G2120 beats the Core i7-3537U in overall performance. 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 but the Core i7-3537U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G2120 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3537U. A Core i7-3537U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2120 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-3537U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
