Intel Core i5-4200M vs Intel N100

Core i5-4200M vs N100 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the N100 is faster than the Core i5-4200M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the N100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-4200M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4200M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N100.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-4200M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
