Intel Core i7-7567U vs Intel Core i3-2120

Core i7-7567U vs Core i3-2120 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7567U beats the Core i3-2120 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2120 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7567U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2120. A Core i7-7567U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2120 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 i7-7567U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
