Intel Core i3 2120 Review

Testing:

ScienceMark tests real world performance instead of using synthetic benchmarks. For this test, we ran the benchmark suite and will use the overall score for comparison.

PCMark 7 is the latest iteration of Futuremark's popular PCMark system performance tool. This latest version is designed for use on Windows 7 PCs and features a combination of 25 different workloads to accurately measure the performance of all PCs from laptops to desktops.

  

Higher is Better

 

Again the i3 2120 outperforms the AMD APU in just about every benchmark. Access time in HD Tune is the only test in this group where the i3 2120 is outperformed and is more a system-specific benchmark than a CPU benchmark.
