Core i3-3110M vs Core i7-4500U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4500U performs better than the Core i3-3110M. 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 i3-3110M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4500U. The Core i7-4500U 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.

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