Core i7-8650U vs Core i5-3350P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8650U is faster than the Core i5-3350P. Despite this, the Core i5-3350P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8650U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3350P has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8650U. Despite this, the Core i7-8650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8650U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3350P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-8650U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-8650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
