Intel Pentium N3710 vs Intel Core i5 M 430

Pentium N3710 vs Core i5 M 430 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5 M 430 performs better than the Pentium N3710. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N3710 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium N3710 has significantly more cores than the Core i5 M 430. Indeed, the Pentium N3710 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5 M 430. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5 M 430 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium N3710.

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. For instance, the Pentium N3710 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
