Core i3-6100 vs Core i5-7500T specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7500T performs better than the Core i3-6100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-7500T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-6100 that has 2 cores. But they both have 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 i5-7500T. The Core i5-7500T 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. In terms of cache, the Core i5-7500T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-6100. The Core i5-7500T also has significantly more L3 cache.
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.
