Intel Core i9-8950HK vs Intel Core i3-10100F

Core i9-8950HK vs Core i3-10100F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-8950HK is faster than the Core i3-10100F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10100F in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-8950HK has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-10100F that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10100F. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10100F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-8950HK CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-10100F CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i9-8950HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
