Core i3-6100 vs Core i7-2630QM specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6100 beats the Core i7-2630QM in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2630QM in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-2630QM has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6100. Indeed, the Core i7-2630QM has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6100. It also has more threads than the Core i3-6100. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-6100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2630QM. The Core i7-2630QM 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.
