Intel Core i3-8100T vs Intel Core i5-8365U

Core i3-8100T vs Core i5-8365U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8365U beats the Core i3-8100T in overall performance. 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 i5-8365U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8100T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8365U. The Core i5-8365U 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.

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.
