Core i3-3120M vs Pentium 4415U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium 4415U performs better than the Core i3-3120M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3120M 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. The Pentium 4415U outputs less heat than Core i3-3120M thanks to a significantly 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 i3-3120M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
