We moderators are having a long discussion about what to do with CPU / GPU boss links, they're not exactly what one would call the most reliable in terms of actual benchmark reporting. The thing you have to keep in mind about laptops especially ultra low power processors (the ones designated with a U), is that they'll never perform anywhere near their desktop counterparts because they're made to run on a battery where the desktop PSUs are not.

So if I don't care about battery life an i3 4000M would be better than an i5 4210U?
