A10-4655M vs Core i3-3120M specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3120M performs better than the A10-4655M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-4655M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. A A10-4655M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3120M CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A10-4655M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
