Core i7-4558U vs N100 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4558U is faster than the N100. 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 i7-4558U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4558U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N100.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-4558U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
