Core i3-10100T vs Core i7-4790 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4790 beats the Core i3-10100T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-10100T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-10100T. Also, the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10100T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-10100T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
