Intel Core i7-3630QM vs Intel Pentium Silver J5040

Core i7-3630QM vs Pentium Silver J5040 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3630QM performs better than the Pentium Silver J5040. Despite this, the Pentium Silver J5040 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3630QM has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3630QM has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver J5040. The Pentium Silver J5040 outputs less heat than Core i7-3630QM thanks to a significantly 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 i7-3630QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
