Intel Core i3-12100 vs Intel Core i3-1315U

Core i3-12100 vs Core i3-1315U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-12100 is faster than the Core i3-1315U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1315U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-1315U has significantly more cores than the Core i3-12100. Indeed, the Core i3-1315U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-12100. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-12100 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1315U. Despite this, the Core i3-1315U has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 i3-12100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
