Intel Core i5-6300U vs Intel N100

Core i5-6300U vs N100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the N100 is faster than the Core i5-6300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300U 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 i5-6300U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6300U has a significantly higher clock speed than the N100.

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 i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
