Intel Core i3-3110M vs Intel Core i7-4510U

Core i3-3110M vs Core i7-4510U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4510U 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.

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 i7-4510U. The Core i7-4510U 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.
