Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 vs Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U: Comparison

What is the difference between 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 and 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U?

They are built to different briefs, and p-core boost clock shows it, 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 3.4 GHz against 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U 4.1 GHz. They differ on memory type too, DDR4-3200, LPDDR4X-3733 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 versus DDR4-2666, LPDDR3-2133, LPDDR4-2933 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U. Igpu model is not the same on both, Intel UHD Graphics G1 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 versus Intel UHD Graphics 620 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U. Igpu compute units is not the same on both, 32 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 versus 24 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U.

Who each one is for

Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 for budget and mid-range laptops focused on everyday computing: browsing, office work, media consumption. It is the wrong buy for multi-threaded workloads or multitasking-heavy use, the 2-core count is a real ceiling regardless of the strong per-core architecture. Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U for budget mainstream laptops wanting basic 10th Gen Intel performance at an accessible price. It is not the one for buyers needing more than 2 physical cores, later 10th Gen i3 chips moved to a genuine 4-core layout.

What 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 and 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U have in common

Where they agree, they agree completely, total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and tdp included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 12 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 and 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U differ on p-core base clock?

Yes. P-Core Base Clock reads 1.2 GHz on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 versus 2.1 GHz on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U.

Is the L3 Cache the same on the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 1005G1 and 10th Gen Intel Core i3 10110U?

It is. Both are listed at 4 MB, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
