Core i7-3635QM vs Core i7-930 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3635QM is faster than the Core i7-930. Despite this, the Core i7-930 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-930 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3635QM. Despite this, the Core i7-3635QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3635QM CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-930 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 i7-3635QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
