Intel Core i5-10210U vs Intel Core i3-4130

Core i5-10210U vs Core i3-4130 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10210U performs better than the Core i3-4130. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4130 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-10210U has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4130 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4130. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4130 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10210U. A Core i5-10210U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4130 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-10210U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-4130. The Core i5-10210U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-10210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
