Intel Pentium Silver N5030 vs Intel Core m3-7Y30

Pentium Silver N5030 vs Core m3-7Y30 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core m3-7Y30 beats the Pentium Silver N5030 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5030 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core m3-7Y30 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core m3-7Y30 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Pentium Silver N5030 thanks to a slightly 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 Silver N5030 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
