Intel Core i3-8130U vs Intel Core i5-6198DU

Core i3-8130U vs Core i5-6198DU comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6198DU is faster than the Core i3-8130U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8130U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6198DU has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-8130U. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i3-8130U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
