Core i3-8100 vs Core i3-10105F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-10105F is faster than the Core i3-8100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8100 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-10105F has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-10105F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8100. Also, the Core i3-10105F has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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. For instance, the Core i3-8100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
