Core i3-10110U vs Pentium Silver N5030 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-10110U 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-10110U. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5030 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-10110U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-10110U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 outputs less heat than Core i3-10110U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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. Indeed, the Core i3-10110U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
