Is Intel Core M better than Intel Core i5?

The mobile i5 has a 15 Watt TDP, so it can vent a lot more heat. Consequently, the Core M will thermal throttle a lot more quickly than a mobile i5. And on longer benchmarks the i5 (and i3) will beat the Core M. So it really boils down to what you’re going to do with the laptop.

What is Intel M3 equivalent to?

The M3 is actually equivalent to a dual-core i7 (as your link shows). Just with a really low TDP. The low TDP means it can’t keep up with an i5 or even i3 on extended processing tasks (more than, say, 5 seconds). TDP actually refers to the cooling Intel says to connect to the CPU.

How good is core M?

Deciding whether a Core M product is for you is actually quite a tough call. For the most part they offer perfectly acceptable performance, great battery life and a new level of thin and light laptop and hybrid designs.

Is Intel Core m3 good?

The Core m3 is good for low-energy tablets and laptops. Something with this processor will last on battery for a very long time, and has adequate performance for web browsing and document editing. The i3 and i5 are for more general use. Maybe some light photo editing or video editing (i3, i5 respectively).

What is m3 processor?

Is Core i3 better than Core i5 for gaming?

The Core i3 is the least powerful of the Core iX range so there’s probably not that much of a trade-off in terms of reduced performance (ie Core m3 vs i3). The Core i5 is more powerful than the Core i3 and so, in comparison, you will sacrifice much more performance.
