About: Geekbench5 - Single CoreGeekbench 5 – Single Core is a popular benchmark designed to measure the single-core (single-threaded) performance of a processor in performing various computational tasks. This benchmark is very important because many common applications, including browsers, productivity software, and most games, still rely heavily on the speed of a single CPU core to execute instructions efficiently.
In this test, Geekbench 5 runs various real-world workload simulations, such as data compression, text processing, encryption, light machine learning, and image manipulation—all performed using only one core of the tested processor. This allows users to see the raw capability of the processor architecture in handling common everyday tasks.
Geekbench 5 features improved benchmarking algorithms from previous versions. The single-core score reflects how quickly and efficiently a CPU completes a set of instructions in sequence. Processors with high scores in this test will provide a more responsive experience, especially when using applications that have not yet fully optimized multi-core performance.
In addition to being accurate and concise, Geekbench 5 also supports cross-platform compatibility across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. This enables objective and consistent performance comparisons across devices and operating systems, making it an essential tool for both general users and technology professionals.
Overall, Geekbench 5 – Single Core provides deep insights into processor efficiency in light computing scenarios. For users who want to know CPU performance in everyday applications, this benchmark is an important reference when choosing devices or comparing processor performance.
The Intel Core i3-2330M is a dual-core mobile processor launched in 2011 as part of Intel’s second-generation Sandy Bridge lineup. Designed for mid-range laptops, this processor features 2 cores and 4 threads thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing it to handle light to moderate multitasking workloads efficiently. Operating at a fixed clock speed of 2.2 GHz and built on the 32nm process, the i3-2330M does not include Intel Turbo Boost, which limits its ability to dynamically increase performance under heavier loads, but it remains a solid choice for everyday use.
With a TDP of 35W, the i3-2330M balances power consumption and performance reasonably well for its era. It integrates Intel HD Graphics 3000, a GPU with a base clock of 650 MHz and a dynamic frequency up to 1.1 GHz. While not designed for modern gaming or demanding graphic applications, this integrated GPU handles HD video playback, basic 3D rendering, and older or lightweight games at low settings with relative ease. Users looking for casual computing and multimedia playback will find it sufficient.
In real-world usage, the Core i3-2330M performs well for standard computing tasks such as web browsing, streaming, office productivity (e.g., Word, Excel), and simple photo editing. Its Hyper-Threading capabilities give it a performance edge over older dual-core processors that lack thread duplication. However, the lack of Turbo Boost and a relatively low base frequency mean that it can struggle under CPU-intensive workloads like video rendering or large spreadsheet processing, especially when compared to more modern CPUs.
This specific configuration was tested on a SAMSUNG 300E4Z, a laptop originally shipped with an Intel Celeron B815 processor but later upgraded to the i3-2330M for better performance. With 4GB of DDR3 dual-channel memory and Windows 7 installed, the system runs smoothly for basic daily use, making the i3-2330M a practical upgrade option for budget-conscious users seeking improved performance without replacing their entire system.
