Intel Core i3-10100 vs Intel Core i3-1005G1

Core i3-10100 vs Core i3-1005G1 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-10100 is faster than the Core i3-1005G1. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1005G1 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-10100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-1005G1 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1005G1. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-10100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1005G1. Also, the Core i3-10100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1005G1 outputs less heat than Core i3-10100 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-10100 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-1005G1. The Core i3-10100 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-10100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
