Core i7-6820HQ vs Core i3-1125G4 comparison

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

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Core i3-1125G4 outputs less heat than Core i7-6820HQ 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 i7-6820HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
