Intel Core i3-10100 vs Intel Core i7-6700T

Core i3-10100 vs Core i7-6700T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-10100 beats the Core i7-6700T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700T. Also, the Core i3-10100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-6700T 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. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-6700T also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-10100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
