Core i5-3320M vs Core i5-3210M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3320M is faster than the Core i5-3210M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3210M 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 i5-3210M. Also, the Core i5-3320M has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.

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 i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
