Intel Core i5-10210U vs Intel Core i7-3610QM

Core i5-10210U vs Core i7-3610QM comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-10210U beats the Core i7-3610QM in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3610QM in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3610QM has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10210U. Despite this, the Core i5-10210U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10210U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3610QM CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i5-10210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
