Core i3-6100T vs Core i5-4200H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4200H performs better than the Core i3-6100T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount 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 i5-4200H. A Core i3-6100T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4200H CPU because of its slightly 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.
