Core i3-9100 vs Core 5 120U specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-9100 beats the Core 5 120U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 5 120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores than the Core i3-9100. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-9100. It also has more threads than the Core i3-9100. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-9100. The Core 5 120U also has significantly 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 i3-9100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
