Intel Core i3-4130 vs Intel Core i3-2100

Core i3-4130 vs Core i3-2100 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4130 beats the Core i3-2100 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2100 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-2100. A Core i3-4130 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2100 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 i3-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
