Intel Core i3-8100 vs Intel Core i7-3770S

Core i3-8100 vs Core i7-3770S benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-8100 performs better than the Core i7-3770S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770S in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-3770S has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3770S. Despite this, the Core i7-3770S 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i3-8100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
