Intel Core i5-8400T vs Intel Core i3-10100F

Core i5-8400T vs Core i3-10100F benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-10100F performs better than the Core i5-8400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8400T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8400T has significantly more cores than the Core i3-10100F. Indeed, the Core i5-8400T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-10100F. Despite this, the Core i3-10100F has more threads than the Core i5-8400T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-10100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400T. Also, the Core i3-10100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-10100F 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. For instance, the Core i5-8400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
