Core i3-3217U vs 3015e comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3217U beats the 3015e in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the 3015e in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3217U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the 3015e. The 3015e outputs less heat than Core i3-3217U thanks to a 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 i3-3217U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
