Intel Core i5-3320M vs Intel N100

Core i5-3320M vs N100 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3320M beats the N100 in overall performance. Despite this, the N100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the N100 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-3320M. Indeed, the N100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-3320M. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3320M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N100. In terms of cache, the N100 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-3320M. The N100 also has significantly more 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. Indeed, the Core i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
