Intel Core i5-3210M vs Intel Pentium E5200

Core i5-3210M vs Pentium E5200 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3210M is faster than the Pentium E5200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium E5200 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-3210M has more threads. Both the Core i5-3210M and Pentium E5200 have the same clock speed. A Core i5-3210M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium E5200 CPU because of its 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 i5-3210M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
