AMD A10-7300 vs Intel Core i3-3120M

A10-7300 vs Core i3-3120M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3120M performs better than the A10-7300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7300 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A10-7300 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-3120M has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3120M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-7300. A A10-7300 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3120M CPU because of its significantly 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. For instance, the A10-7300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
