Intel Core i5-2410M vs Intel Core i3-4005U

Core i5-2410M vs Core i3-4005U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2410M performs better than the Core i3-4005U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4005U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2410M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4005U. The Core i3-4005U outputs less heat than Core i5-2410M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-2410M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
