Intel Core i3-6100 vs Intel N100

Core i3-6100 vs N100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100 is faster than the N100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N100 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the N100 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6100. Indeed, the N100 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 N100. In terms of cache, the N100 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-6100. The N100 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
