Core i3-2328M vs Core i3-3130M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3130M is faster than the Core i3-2328M. Despite this, the Core i3-2328M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3130M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2328M. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
