Core i3-3110M vs Core i3-3120M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3120M beats the Core i3-3110M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3110M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3120M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3110M. 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-3110M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
