Intel Pentium 2020M DDR3-1066 vs Core i3-3110M DDR3-1600

Dear experts,

I’m choosing between two notebooks, one is Core i3-3110M with DDR-1600 while the other is Intel Pentium 2020M with DDR-1066. All other specs seem identical (except the price and the screen size). Would the first notebook be much faster than the second one?

The core i3 would be slightly faster, but for basic uses either one would be fine. If there isn't much of a price difference I would go with the i3 laptop.

Thank you! In my case Pentium 2020M has larger screen which is good for me so it's nice to know that I don't sacrifice much productivity if I pick it.
