Intel Core i3-8100T vs Intel Core i5-10310U

Core i3-8100T vs Core i5-10310U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10310U is faster than the Core i3-8100T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8100T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-10310U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8100T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10310U. The Core i5-10310U outputs less heat than Core i3-8100T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-8100T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
