Intel Core i5-3340M
About processor
The Intel Core i5-3340M processor is a solid mid-range option for mobile devices. With a code name of Ivy Bridge and built on 22nm technology, this dual-core processor has a total of 4 threads and a TDP of 35W.
In terms of performance, the Core i5-3340M is capable of handling everyday tasks with ease, and it can also handle more demanding applications and multitasking without any major issues. Its Geekbench 6 scores are respectable, with a single-core score of 559 and a multi-core score of 1113.
One of the key strengths of this processor is its energy efficiency, with a relatively low TDP which makes it a good choice for mobile devices where battery life is a priority.
However, one of the potential drawbacks of the Core i5-3340M is that it may start to show its age when it comes to more demanding tasks, especially when compared to newer processors. Additionally, with only 2 total cores, it may struggle with certain modern applications that are optimized for more cores.
Overall, the Intel Core i5-3340M is a reliable and efficient processor for everyday use in mobile devices, but may not be the best option for more demanding tasks or newer applications.

Instruction Set
?
The instruction set is a hard program stored inside the CPU that guides and optimizes CPU operations. With these instruction sets, the CPU can run more efficiently. There are many manufacturers that design CPUs, which results in different instruction sets, such as the 8086 instruction set for the Intel camp and the RISC instruction set for the ARM camp. x86, ARM v8, and MIPS are all codes for instruction sets. Instruction sets can be extended; for example, x86 added 64-bit support to create x86-64. Manufacturers developing CPUs that are compatible with a certain instruction set need authorization from the instruction set patent holder. A typical example is Intel authorizing AMD, enabling the latter to develop CPUs compatible with the x86 instruction set.
