Core i7-7660U vs Core i3-1115G4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1115G4 beats the Core i7-7660U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7660U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-1115G4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7660U. Also, the Core i3-1115G4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7660U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-1115G4 CPU because of its 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 i7-7660U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
