Intel Core i3-3130M vs Intel Core i7-4510U

Core i3-3130M vs Core i7-4510U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3130M performs better than the Core i7-4510U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4510U 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 i3-3130M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4510U. The Core i7-4510U outputs less heat than Core i3-3130M 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 i3-3130M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
