Core i3-2328M vs Atom D2550 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-2328M performs better than the Atom D2550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Atom D2550 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-2328M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Atom D2550. The Atom D2550 outputs less heat than Core i3-2328M 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 i3-2328M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
