Intel Core i3-3220 vs Intel Core i3-5010U

Core i3-3220 vs Core i3-5010U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3220 is faster than the Core i3-5010U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-5010U 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3220 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-5010U. The Core i3-5010U outputs less heat than Core i3-3220 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 i3-3220 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
