Intel Core i3-6100T vs Intel Core i5-4310U

Core i3-6100T vs Core i5-4310U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100T is faster than the Core i5-4310U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4310U 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 significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4310U. The Core i5-4310U 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.

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.
