Intel Core i3-3227U vs Intel Core m3-6Y30

Core i3-3227U vs Core m3-6Y30 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core m3-6Y30 is faster than the Core i3-3227U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3227U 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-3227U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core m3-6Y30. The Core m3-6Y30 outputs less heat than Core i3-3227U 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 i3-3227U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
