Intel Core i7-6500U vs Intel N100

Core i7-6500U vs N100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6500U is faster than the N100. Despite this, the N100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the N100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-6500U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6500U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N100.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-6500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
