Core i3-8100T vs Custom 0405 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Custom 0405 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 Custom 0405 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-8100T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Custom 0405. In terms of cache, the Custom 0405 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-8100T. Despite this, the Core i3-8100T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Custom 0405.

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.
