Core i3-2310M vs Pentium 5405U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-2310M performs better than the Pentium 5405U. Despite this, the Pentium 5405U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Pentium 5405U 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.
