Core i3-6100 vs N150 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100 is faster than the N150. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N150 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the N150 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-6100 has a significantly higher clock speed than the N150. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the N150 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-6100. The N150 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.
