Core i3-6100 vs Core i5-4200H benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6100 beats the Core i5-4200H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200H in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200H. The Core i5-4200H outputs less heat than Core i3-6100 thanks to a 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.
