Core i7-930 vs Core i5-3350P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-930 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 i7-930 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3350P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-930. Also, the Core i5-3350P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-3350P outputs less heat than Core i7-930 thanks to a 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 i7-930 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
