Core i3-3110M vs Core i5-3317U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3317U performs better than the Core i3-3110M. Despite this, the Core i3-3110M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i5-3317U. The Core i5-3317U 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.
