Intel Core i3-10105 vs Intel Core i3-9100

Core i3-10105 vs Core i3-9100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-10105 is faster than the Core i3-9100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9100 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-10105 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-10105 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-9100. Also, the Core i3-10105 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 i3-10105 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
