Core i5-6600 vs N100 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6600 beats the N100 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N100 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N100. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the N100 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6600. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
