Core i5-4570T vs Core i3-2100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4570T is faster than the Core i3-2100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2100 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-2100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4570T. A Core i5-4570T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2100 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-4570T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
