Core i3-2310M Details

Built on Intel's Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and manufactured on a 32 nm process, the Core i3-2310M represents a mid-range mobile processor from the early 2010s. Released in 2011, it is now considered an older device, reflecting a generation of computing that predates modern multi-core workloads and advanced instruction sets. Despite its age, the chip remains notable for its integrated graphics and dual-core design with Hyper-Threading, offering a balance of performance and efficiency for light computing tasks of its time.

The processor features two physical cores with four threads, operating at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and supporting a maximum turbo frequency of 2.6 GHz. It includes a 3 MiB L3 cache and 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, with 0.125 MiB of L1 cache split evenly between instruction and data. The chip is built on a 32 nm CMOS process and operates at a TDP of 35 W, making it suitable for laptops with moderate thermal design. It uses the Socket G2 (rPGA988B) and supports DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1066 memory across two channels, with a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB and memory bandwidth reaching up to 19.87 GiB/s.

Integrated into the Core i3-2310M is the Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU, which features 12 execution units and can reach a burst frequency of 1.1 GHz. This GPU supports up to two displays and provides a modest level of graphics performance, sufficient for basic multimedia playback and light gaming. The processor supports a wide range of instruction sets, including AVX, AVX2, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AES-NI, and includes technologies such as Intel Enhanced SpeedStep, VT-x, and Extended Page Tables for virtualization and power efficiency.

In benchmark testing, the Core i3-2310M achieves an overall score of 4255, ranking it #1584 among 2060 processors. Its single-core score of 4165 places it at #1616, while its multicore score of 4390 positions it at #1481. These results indicate that while the processor is competitive with some modern low-power and budget CPUs, it falls significantly behind contemporary offerings. In the top 50 overall rankings, it is outpaced by processors with vastly superior core counts, clock speeds, and memory bandwidth, such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K.

As of March 2026, the Core i3-2310M is best suited for basic productivity tasks, web browsing, and light multimedia use in older or budget laptops. Its strengths lie in its power efficiency and integrated graphics, but it lacks the performance needed for demanding applications or modern gaming. While it remains functional in low-demand environments, its age and limited capabilities make it obsolete for most current computing needs.
