Intel Core i3-10110U vs Intel Core i3-8100

Core i3-10110U vs Core i3-8100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8100 is faster than the Core i3-10110U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10110U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-8100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-10110U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-10110U. Despite this, the Core i3-10110U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10110U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-8100 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i3-8100 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-10110U. The Core i3-8100 also has significantly 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 i3-10110U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
