Intel Core i3-3110M vs Intel Core i3-3217U

Core i3-3110M vs Core i3-3217U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3110M is faster than the Core i3-3217U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3217U 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-3110M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-3217U. The Core i3-3217U outputs less heat than Core i3-3110M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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.
