Intel Core i3-530 vs Intel N100

Core i3-530 vs N100 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the N100 is faster than the Core i3-530. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-530 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the N100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-530 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-530 has a significantly higher clock speed than the N100.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-530 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
