Intel Core i3-6100 vs Intel Core i3-4340

Core i3-6100 vs Core i3-4340 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100 is faster than the Core i3-4340. Despite this, the Core i3-4340 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i3-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4340. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4340 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
