Intel Core i3-10110U vs Intel Core i3-7100

Core i3-10110U vs Core i3-7100 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-7100 beats the Core i3-10110U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10110U 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 i3-7100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-10110U. A Core i3-10110U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-7100 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i3-10110U also has slightly more 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 i3-10110U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
