Intel Core i3-12100 vs Intel Core i5-1035G4

Core i3-12100 vs Core i5-1035G4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-12100 beats the Core i5-1035G4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1035G4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-12100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1035G4. Also, the Core i3-12100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1035G4 outputs less heat than Core i3-12100 thanks to a 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 i3-12100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
