Core i7-6700T vs Core i3-9100F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-9100F is faster than the Core i7-6700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-6700T has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6700T. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-9100F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-6700T also has slightly more 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. Indeed, the Core i7-6700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
