Core i5-3210M vs 3020e specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3210M performs better than the 3020e. Despite this, the 3020e has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-3210M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3210M has a significantly higher clock speed than the 3020e. Also, the Core i5-3210M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The 3020e outputs less heat than Core i5-3210M 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 i5-3210M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
