Core i3-9100F vs Core i3-N305 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-N305 is faster than the Core i3-9100F. Despite this, the Core i3-9100F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-9100F. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-9100F. It also has more threads than the Core i3-9100F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-9100F. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
