Core i3-8109U vs Core 2 Quad Q6600 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-8109U performs better than the Core 2 Quad Q6600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q6600 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-8109U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-8109U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q6600. A Core i3-8109U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8109U
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. Indeed, the Core i3-8109U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
