Core i3-10100F vs Core i3-9100F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-10100F is faster than the Core i3-9100F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9100F in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-10100F has more threads. Both the Core i3-10100F and Core i3-9100F have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i3-10100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-10100F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
