Core i3-3120M vs Core i5 M 560 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5 M 560 beats the Core i3-3120M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3120M in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5 M 560 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3120M.
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 i3-3120M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
