Intel Core i3 M 330 vs Intel Core i3-3217U

Core i3 M 330 vs Core i3-3217U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3217U is faster than the Core i3 M 330. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3 M 330 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 M 330 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3217U.

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 M 330 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
