Intel Core i7-8700 vs Intel N100

Core i7-8700 vs N100 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8700 performs better than the N100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N100 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8700 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the N100 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the N100. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-8700 has a significantly higher clock speed than the N100. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the N100 has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8700. Despite this, the Core i7-8700 has significantly more L3 cache 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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
