Intel Pentium Silver N5030 vs Intel Core i3-1315U

Pentium Silver N5030 vs Core i3-1315U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1315U performs better than the Pentium Silver N5030. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5030 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1315U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Pentium Silver N5030 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium Silver N5030. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-1315U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030.

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 Silver N5030 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
