Intel Core i5-4310U vs Intel Core m3-7Y30

Core i5-4310U vs Core m3-7Y30 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core m3-7Y30 is faster than the Core i5-4310U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4310U in all gaming tests too.

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 i5-4310U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core m3-7Y30. Also, the Core i5-4310U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Core i5-4310U 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 i5-4310U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
