Core i3-6100 vs Core i7-920 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100 is faster than the Core i7-920. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-920 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-920 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-6100 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-6100. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-920. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-920 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-920 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-6100
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.
