Intel Core i7-3520M vs Intel N100

Core i7-3520M vs N100 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the N100 is faster than the Core i7-3520M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3520M 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 i7-3520M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3520M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to 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 i7-3520M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
