Intel Pentium N3710 vs Intel Core 2 Duo E8200

Pentium N3710 vs Core 2 Duo E8200 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium N3710 is faster than the Core 2 Duo E8200. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E8200 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium N3710 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core 2 Duo E8200 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E8200. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E8200 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium N3710. A Pentium N3710 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8200 CPU because of its 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. For instance, the Pentium N3710 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
