Core i3-3220 vs N100 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3220 beats the N100 in overall performance. Despite this, the N100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the N100 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-3220. Indeed, the N100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-3220. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3220 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N100.

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 i3-3220 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
