Conclusion 
Average Bench 47.9%
Average Bench 42%

The Intel i5-2410M is a dual-core four thread mobile processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture. It was launched in Q1 2011 and at the time was reasonably fast with an effective speedof 58: the base clock speed is 2.3 GHz which can boost up to 2.9 GHz when required. The TDP of 35W is relatively high by modern standards and is halved in the i5-3317U (full comparison here). A lower TDP leads to extended battery life which a big plus for mobile processors. The i5-2410M features an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 which is less than adequate for the demands of modern games. That said, the i5-2410M is absolutely fine for handling the majority of day to day tasks such as word-processing and web-browsing. [Nov '14 CPUPro]

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
