Core i3-6100T vs Core i5-3380M benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3380M beats the Core i3-6100T in overall performance. 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-6100T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3380M. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i3-6100T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
