Intel Core i3-380M Details

Ranked #1637 of 2060 in overall performance, the Intel Core i3-380M sits at the lower end of modern computing benchmarks, offering a glimpse into the capabilities of early 2010s mobile processors. Released in 2010 as part of Intel's Arrandale platform, this dual-core CPU was designed for mainstream laptops and aimed to deliver balanced performance with integrated graphics and low power consumption. Despite its age, the i3-380M remains a notable example of Intel's transition to more efficient architectures during the era of Sandy Bridge and Westmere. As of March 2026, it is no longer relevant for modern applications, but its performance is still comparable to some low-end processors from the early 2010s.

The i3-380M operates on Intel's 32 nm process and is built around the Westmere microarchitecture, which is an evolution of the Nehalem design. It features two cores with four threads via Hyper-Threading, running at a base frequency of 2.53 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 2.7 GHz. The processor includes 3 MiB of L3 cache, 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, and 0.125 MiB of L1 cache, distributed across its cores. It supports DDR3-1066 memory at a maximum bandwidth of 15.88 GiB/s and is compatible with the rPGA-988A socket, commonly found in laptops from the Calpella platform. With a TDP of 35 W, it offers decent thermal efficiency for its time, though it falls short by today’s standards.

Integrated into the processor is Intel's HD Graphics (Ironlake), featuring 12 execution units and a maximum frequency of 667 MHz. This GPU supports up to two displays and provides basic multimedia and light gaming capabilities, suitable for office tasks and video playback. The i3-380M supports a wide range of instruction sets, including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, and AES-NI, along with technologies like Intel VT-x, EIST, and Extended Page Tables. While it lacks support for ECC memory, it does include features such as Simultaneous Multithreading and Intel Flex Memory Access, which improve efficiency and memory handling.

In benchmark testing, the i3-380M achieves a single-core score of 4118, placing it at #1660 out of 2060, and a multicore score of 4381, ranking #1502. Its overall score of 4223 positions it as a mid-tier performer when compared to other CPUs from its generation. It is outperformed by more recent processors like the Intel Core i5-480M and AMD Phenom II X4 810, but still holds a slight edge over older dual-core chips such as the Core 2 Duo T9300. The performance gap between its single-core and multicore scores suggests that while it scales moderately well with multithreaded workloads, its single-threaded performance is a limiting factor in modern applications.

In conclusion, the Intel Core i3-380M is a product of its time—adequate for basic computing tasks and light productivity workloads in the early 2010s, but obsolete by today's standards. Its strengths lie in its integrated graphics and power efficiency, but its outdated architecture and limited performance make it unsuitable for gaming, content creation, or demanding software. For users seeking a modern upgrade, even a modest contemporary CPU would offer significantly better performance and features.
