Intel Core i5-4210M vs Intel N100

Core i5-4210M vs N100 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4210M performs better than the N100. Despite this, the N100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the N100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-4210M has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4210M 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 i5-4210M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
