Core i3-2310M vs Core i3-3217U specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3217U performs better than the Core i3-2310M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2310M in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-2310M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3217U. The Core i3-3217U outputs less heat than Core i3-2310M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-2310M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
