Core i3-9300 vs Core i3-10100F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-10100F is faster than the Core i3-9300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9300 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-10100F has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-10100F. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i3-9300 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-10100F CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-9300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
