Core i3-6100 vs Core i5-6400T benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6100 beats the Core i5-6400T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6400T in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6400T has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6100. Indeed, the Core i5-6400T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6100. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-6100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T. The Core i5-6400T outputs less heat than Core i3-6100 thanks to a significantly 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 i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
