Core i3-6100U vs A10-6700 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-6700 performs better than the Core i3-6100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A10-6700 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6100U. Indeed, the A10-6700 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6100U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-6700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6100U. A Core i3-6100U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-6700 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 i3-6100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
