Core i5-2410M vs Core i3-4010U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4010U beats the Core i5-2410M in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-2410M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores 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 i3-4010U. The Core i3-4010U 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.

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