Intel Core i7-5500U vs Intel Core m3-7Y30

Core i7-5500U vs Core m3-7Y30 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-5500U beats the Core m3-7Y30 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core m3-7Y30 in all gaming tests too.

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 i7-5500U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core m3-7Y30. Also, the Core i7-5500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Core i7-5500U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i7-5500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
