Core i5-10310U Details

Ranking #779 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Core i5-10310U sits firmly in the mid-tier of consumer processors as of early 2026. Though released several years ago, it remains a viable option for light productivity and multimedia tasks, particularly in thin-and-light laptops where its 35 W TDP supports efficient thermal management. Despite its age, the processor demonstrates respectable performance, especially considering its 6-core, 12-thread configuration and 4.0 GHz turbo frequency, which are notable for a mobile chip of its generation.

Built on Intel's 14 nm process and based on the Comet Lake architecture, the Core i5-10310U pairs a 2.4 GHz base clock with a 4.0 GHz turbo boost, enabling it to handle demanding applications effectively. It supports DDR4-2666 memory across two channels, delivering up to 41.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth—adequate for most mainstream workloads. The chip features a 12 MB L3 cache, a 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes configuration, and a TDP of 35 W, making it well-suited for compact systems requiring a balance of performance and power efficiency.

Integrated graphics are provided by Intel’s UHD Graphics 630, capable of a maximum boost frequency of 1.2 GHz. While not designed for gaming, it supports up to three displays and can handle basic video playback and light content creation. The processor includes a range of modern features such as AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, enhancing both computational performance and security with technologies like TXT and SMEP.

In benchmark testing, the i5-10310U achieves a single-core score of 5374 and a multicore score of 4723, placing it above several older Intel and AMD processors while lagging behind more recent designs. Its single-core performance ranks #670, indicating strong responsiveness in everyday applications, while its multicore ranking at #937 reflects solid but not exceptional performance in parallel workloads. Compared to its direct competitors in the same tier—such as the Core i5-7300HQ and Ryzen 7 3700U—it holds its own, though it is outpaced by newer mobile chips from both Intel and AMD.

Overall, the Core i5-10310U is a capable mid-range mobile processor ideal for users who prioritize portability and efficiency over raw power. While it is no longer at the forefront of performance, it remains a reliable choice for general computing, office productivity, and casual multimedia use in lightweight laptops. As of March 2026, it serves as a solid mid-tier option in the ever-evolving landscape of mobile processors.
