Intel Core i7-7700T vs Intel Core i3-N305

Core i7-7700T vs Core i3-N305 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-N305 beats the Core i7-7700T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-7700T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i7-7700T has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i3-N305 outputs less heat than Core i7-7700T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-7700T. Despite this, the Core i7-7700T has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-N305.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-7700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
