Thanks to AMD and its Zen architecture, we now all get to enjoy CPUs with six or more cores for very little money. The current generation of consoles all boast eight cores and 16 threads. It is, after all, the year 2024 and not 2004. Oblivious to this is Intel with the release of the eponymous 310 chip, loaded to the hilt with a staggering two P-cores and naff all else.
The first benchmark of the mighty processor, a Geekbench v6 result, was spotted by Benchleaks (via Wccftech) and it achieved a single-core figure of 2,152 and a multi-core result of 4,254. That first value is quite respectable—but so it should be because the Intel 310 is a Raptor Lake chip with a constant 4.1 GHz clock speed. Well, technically it's an Alder Lake one but that's by-the-by.
