Intel Core i5-11400 vs Intel Core i3-10100F

Core i5-11400 vs Core i3-10100F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11400 is faster than the Core i3-10100F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10100F in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-11400 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-10100F that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10100F. According to our data, the Core i5-11400 and Core i3-10100F have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-11400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-11400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
