Intel Core i7-975 vs Intel Core i5-3350P

Core i7-975 vs Core i5-3350P benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-975 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 i7-975 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-975 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3350P. Also, the Core i7-975 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-3350P outputs less heat than Core i7-975 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-975 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
