Intel Core i3-12100F vs Intel Core i5-4670S

Core i3-12100F vs Core i5-4670S benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-12100F beats the Core i5-4670S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4670S in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-12100F has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-12100F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4670S. Also, the Core i3-12100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-12100F CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670S CPU because of its slightly 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 i3-12100F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
