When starting off with the range of multi-threaded scientific benchmarks offered up by NASA in their NAS Parallel Benchmarks suite, the Core i5 3470 generally came right in line with the performance of the Intel Core i5 2500K. Compared to the quad-core 3.2GHz base / 3.6GHz Turbo Boost offered by the i5-3470 Ivy Bridge, the i5-2500K is a quad-core running at 3.3GHz with 3.7GHz Turbo Boost but on the older Sandy Bridge micro-architecture.

With the LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator, the i5-3470 was performing right between the i5-2500K and i7-3770K.

The i5-2500K was matched by the i5-3470 in the MPI-based FFTE program.
