A10-5750M vs Core i3-3120M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3120M performs better than the A10-5750M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-5750M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A10-5750M has significantly more cores than the Core i3-3120M. Indeed, the A10-5750M has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-3120M. But they both have the same number of threads. Both the A10-5750M and Core i3-3120M have the same clock speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the A10-5750M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
