Core i3-6100U vs Pentium G2120 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Pentium G2120 beats the Core i3-6100U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-6100U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G2120 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6100U. A Core i3-6100U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2120 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.
