Core i3-4020Y vs Core m3-6Y30 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core m3-6Y30 beats the Core i3-4020Y in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-4020Y has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 m3-6Y30 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4020Y. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i3-4020Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
