About: Geekbench3 - Multi CoreGeekbench 3 – Multi Core is a cross-platform benchmark designed to measure overall processor performance in multi-threaded scenarios. This test is very useful for assessing how a CPU utilizes all available cores and threads to run heavy computing tasks in parallel. Geekbench 3 was developed by Primate Labs and has become a popular tool among technology enthusiasts, hardware reviewers, and professional users.
In Multi Core mode, Geekbench 3 runs various real-world work simulations such as data compression, encryption, image processing, physics simulation, and so on. All of these tasks are designed to be executed by multiple cores simultaneously, allowing users to see the efficiency and scalability of their CPU in high-load scenarios. The scores generated provide a direct indication of the system's ability to handle multitasking applications, rendering, and advanced productivity activities.
One of the key advantages of Geekbench 3 is its simplicity of use and accuracy in performance measurement. This benchmark is cross-platform, meaning scores from Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS can be directly compared. This makes Geekbench 3 ideal for comparing various devices, from desktops and laptops to smartphones and tablets.
Overall, Geekbench 3 Multi Core provides important insights into a system's processing power under full load. This is particularly relevant for users who want to ensure their system can efficiently handle heavy workloads, such as creative work, demanding games, virtualization, or other parallel computing tasks.
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.
