Core i5-3380M Details

Built on Intel's 22 nm process and based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture, the Core i5-3380M is a dual-core mobile processor designed for mainstream laptops. Released in early 2012, it represents a significant step in Intel's integration of performance and power efficiency for portable computing. As of March 2026, the i5-3380M is considered an older device, though it remains relevant for basic productivity and multimedia tasks in legacy systems.

The processor features two cores with four threads, enabled by Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, and operates at a base frequency of 2.9 GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.6 GHz. It supports DDR3 memory up to 1600 MHz and can handle up to 32 GB of RAM across two channels, with a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The CPU is packaged in a 64-bit architecture and includes full support for modern instruction sets such as AVX2, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, and VT-x virtualization, making it capable of handling a wide range of software workloads.

Power efficiency is a key design consideration, with a TDP of 35 W, making it suitable for thin-and-light laptops. It uses the FCBGA1023 and FCPGA988 sockets, which were common in laptops from its era. The processor also includes Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep Technology (EIST) for dynamic clock adjustment based on workload, further optimizing power consumption.

Integrated graphics are provided by the Intel HD Graphics 4000, which supports up to three displays and features a base frequency of 650 MHz with a burst frequency of up to 1.25 GHz. While not designed for high-end gaming, this GPU delivers adequate performance for office applications, video playback, and light content creation.

In benchmark testing, the i5-3380M achieves an overall score of 4694, placing it at #1109 among 2060 processors. It scores 4817 in single-core performance (#1063) and 4509 in multicore performance (#1209). Its single-core performance is particularly strong, outperforming many modern low-power processors, while its multicore performance lags behind contemporary offerings. This indicates that the processor excels in applications that benefit from high clock speeds but struggles with heavily threaded workloads.

Compared to other processors in its class, the i5-3380M is competitive with mid-tier CPUs from its generation, such as the Core i5-3570S and Xeon E5520. However, it falls behind newer processors like the Ryzen 3 3200U and Core i3-3225 in both single- and multicore performance. The processor is best suited for users who prioritize power efficiency and single-threaded performance over raw computational power.

As of 2026, the Core i5-3380M remains a viable option for basic computing tasks in legacy laptops, particularly where battery life and thermal management are priorities. While it lacks the capabilities of modern processors, its strong single-core performance and integrated graphics make it a practical choice for everyday use in older systems.
