Core i3-2100 vs Athlon X4 750K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-2100 performs better than the Athlon X4 750K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 750K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 750K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-2100.

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 i3-2100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
