Intel® Core™ i5-2310

The Intel Core i5-2310 is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Sandy Bridge architecture (32 nm process). It launched in May 2011. Clocks run from 2.9 GHz base to 3.2 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). The chip drops into the FCLGA1155 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 95 W.

The Intel Core i5-2310 scores 1,488 in single-core performance and 3,652 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,331 for overall performance, 4,457 for productivity performance, 4,687 for creator performance, 3,515 for engineering performance and 5,377 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 913 per core, 913 per thread and 38 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 239. Its performance index is 29, so its overall performance is 71% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-2310 scores 12,627 in integer math, 6,515 in floating-point math, 59,020 in compression, 929 in cryptography, 316 in physics simulation, 2,936 in vector SIMD, 23 in the prime sieve and 7,805 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 79% below in integer math, 86% below in floating-point math, 74% below in compression, 92% below in cryptography, 71% below in physics simulation, 81% below in vector SIMD, 66% below in the prime sieve and 66% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i5-2310 has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.90 GHz and boosts up to 3.20 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-2310 is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i5 family, uses the Sandy Bridge architecture, carries the codename Sandy Bridge and is manufactured on a 32 nm process. It launched in May 2011.

The Intel Core i5-2310 has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 7.3 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i5-2310 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i5-2310 includes integrated graphics (HD 2000) and clocks the graphics up to 1.10 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-2310 uses the FCLGA1155 socket, supports PCI Express 2.0 and provides up to 16 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Core i5-2310 has a rated TDP of 95 W.
