Intel Core i5-10310U vs Intel Core i7-2670QM

Core i5-10310U vs Core i7-2670QM specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10310U performs better than the Core i7-2670QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2670QM in all gaming tests too.

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 i7-2670QM has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10310U. Despite this, the Core i5-10310U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10310U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2670QM 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 i5-10310U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
