Intel Core i3-4030U vs Intel Core i5 M 430

Core i3-4030U vs Core i5 M 430 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4030U beats the Core i5 M 430 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5 M 430 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 i5 M 430 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4030U.

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 i3-4030U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
