Core i3-2100 vs Core i5-3470 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3470 is faster than the Core i3-2100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2100 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-3470 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-2100. Indeed, the Core i5-3470 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-2100. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3470 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2100. A Core i3-2100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3470 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-2100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
