Intel Core i3-7130U vs Intel Core i3-3110M

Core i3-7130U vs Core i3-3110M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-7130U performs better than the Core i3-3110M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3110M 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-7130U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3110M. A Core i3-7130U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3110M CPU because of its 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 i3-7130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
