Core i3-380M Details

Built on Intel's Arrandale microarchitecture and manufactured on a 32 nm process, the Core i3-380M is a mobile processor that was released in October 2010. While this places it firmly in the era of early 2010s computing, its design still reflects the transition from dual-core to hyper-threaded efficiency in Intel's mobile lineup. The chip is designed for laptops and ultra-portable devices, featuring a socket G1 package and a TDP of 35 W, making it relatively power-efficient for its time. Despite being over a decade old, the processor remains notable for its integration of Hyper-Threading, which enables it to handle four threads simultaneously on its two physical cores.

The Core i3-380M operates at a base frequency of 2.534 GHz, with a locked multiplier that limits overclocking potential. It includes 3 MB of L3 cache, 0.244 MiB of L2 cache, and 0.061 MiB of L1 cache, supporting DDR3 memory and PCIe 2.0 connectivity. The processor is fabricated with 382 million transistors and has a die area of 81 mm². While it lacks integrated graphics in standard configurations, some motherboard variants do include a basic GPU as a chipset feature, though no specific shader count or max frequency is provided.

In terms of supported features, the Core i3-380M includes Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep Technology (EIST), VT-x and VT-d virtualization extensions, and TXT for trusted execution. It also supports a wide range of instruction sets, including SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, and SSE4.1/4.2, ensuring compatibility with software from its era. These capabilities, combined with its virtualization support, make it suitable for light virtual machine workloads and basic multitasking.

Benchmarking the Core i3-380M reveals its position in the broader CPU landscape. It scores 4196 in the overall benchmark, ranking #1681 out of 2060 processors, with a single-core score of 4113 (#1665) and a multicore score of 4320 (#1685). These results place it just below mid-range mobile processors of its time, such as the A4-7300 and Pentium G2020, but above older dual-core chips like the Core 2 Duo T8300. The processor performs comparably to the Core i3-380M itself in single-core tasks, indicating consistent performance across similar architectures.

As of March 2026, the Core i3-380M is best suited for legacy systems, basic productivity tasks, or educational environments where modern performance is not required. Its low power consumption and dual-core efficiency make it a viable option for older laptops, but it is far outpaced by contemporary processors in the top 50, such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K. While it holds historical significance in Intel's mobile roadmap, its relevance today is limited to niche or retro computing use cases.
