Core i3-6100U vs Core m3-7Y30 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100U is faster than the Core m3-7Y30. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core m3-7Y30 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-6100U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core m3-7Y30. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Core i3-6100U thanks to a 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.
