Core i3-3110M vs Pentium G2030 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3110M is faster than the Pentium G2030. Despite this, the Pentium G2030 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-3110M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G2030 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3110M. A Core i3-3110M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2030 CPU because of its 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.
