Core i5-2410M vs Core i3-4030U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4030U is faster than the Core i5-2410M. Despite this, the Core i5-2410M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-2410M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4030U. The Core i3-4030U 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-2410M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
