Core i3-3110M vs Core i3-4030U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3110M is faster than the Core i3-4030U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4030U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count 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 i3-4030U. The Core i3-4030U 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.

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 i3-3110M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
