Core i7-920 vs Core i5 M 430 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-920 is faster than the Core i5 M 430. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5 M 430 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-920 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5 M 430 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5 M 430. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-920 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5 M 430. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-920 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5 M 430
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 i7-920 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
