Intel Core i7-10510U vs Intel Core i5-3340

Core i7-10510U vs Core i5-3340 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-10510U performs better than the Core i5-3340. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3340 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-10510U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3340 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10510U. Despite this, the Core i7-10510U has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10510U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3340 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-10510U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
