Intel Core i5 2400S

The cryptography results were mixed.

With C-Ray, which many know as being a favorite multi-threaded test at Phoronix, the Core i5 2400S was 1.81x faster than the Core i3 2100 while the shining Core i5 2500K was 2.37x faster.

Smallpt does not bang all of the cores as hard as C-Ray, but the Core i5 2400S was still 22% faster than the Core i3 2100 at 3.1GHz.
