Core i3-6100T vs Core i3-8130U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8130U is faster than the Core i3-6100T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-6100T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8130U. The Core i3-8130U outputs less heat than Core i3-6100T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-6100T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
