Core i3-6100T vs Pentium G3258 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100T is faster than the Pentium G3258. Despite this, the Pentium G3258 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-6100T has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i3-6100T and Pentium G3258 are identical in this regard. A Core i3-6100T CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3258 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-6100T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
