Intel Core i3-8100T vs Intel Core i5-8265U

Core i3-8100T vs Core i5-8265U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8265U 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 i5-8265U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8100T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. The Core i5-8265U 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. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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 i3-8100T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
