Core i3-12100 vs Core i7-11370H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-12100 is faster than the Core i7-11370H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11370H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Core i7-11370H 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.

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.
