Core i7-6820HK vs Core i3-1125G4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1125G4 is faster than the Core i7-6820HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6820HK in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Core i3-1125G4 outputs less heat than Core i7-6820HK thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-6820HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
