Core i3-3110M vs Core i7-4610M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4610M 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4610M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3110M. A Core i3-3110M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4610M CPU because of its slightly 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.
