Core i5-6200U vs N100 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6200U beats the N100 in overall performance. Despite this, the N100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the N100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-6200U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6200U 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 i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
