Intel Core i3-10100 vs Intel Core i5-10200H

Core i3-10100 vs Core i5-10200H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-10100 beats the Core i5-10200H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10200H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10200H. Also, the Core i3-10100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-10200H 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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.
