Intel Core i3-8100T vs Intel Core i7-10610U

Core i3-8100T vs Core i7-10610U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10610U 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-10610U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8100T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10610U. The Core i7-10610U 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-10610U also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i3-8100T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
