Core i3-8100T vs Core i5-9500T benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9500T 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.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-9500T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-8100T has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8100T. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-8100T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9500T. 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 i3-8100T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
