Core i5-3320M vs Core i3-3110M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3320M beats the Core i3-3110M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3110M 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 i5-3320M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-3110M. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
