So sánh i3-8100 vs i5-6400

The values for the CPUs below are determined from thousands of PerformanceTest benchmark results and are updated daily.

  • The first section will show basic information for each CPU selected.
  • The additional graphs shows the CPU Mark and Single Thread values of each CPU selected.
  • An accompany graph, if price data is available, will shows the value for money, in terms of the CPU Mark/Thread Rating per dollar.
  • The last section will show approximate yearly running costs for the CPUs.

1Average user usage is typically low and can vary from task to task. An estimate load 25% is nominal. 2Typical power costs vary around the world. Check your last power bill for details. Values of $0.15 to $0.45 per kWh are typical.

Các bộ xử lý Intel Coffee Lake đang tạo cơn sóng lớn trong cộng đồng người dùng máy tính. Tất cả các phân khúc Core i3, i5, i7 đều được tăng số nhân xử lý lên gấp rưỡi, hứa hẹn hiệu năng cũng tăng ít nhất 50% dù giá không đổi.

Trước nay người dùng vẫn luôn hiểu ngầm với nhau rằng CPU 4 nhân Intel là hoàn hảo nhất cho người dùng thông thường: chạy mượt tất cả tác vụ, bật được nhiều ứng dụng cùng lúc, chơi game max setting thoải mái với các card đồ họa cao cấp nhất mà không sợ nghẽn cổ chai... Vì thế nhận được nhiều quan tâm nhất lúc này là chú ngựa ô Core i3-8100.

Hiện nay chúng tôi đang cầm trong tay bộ xử lý “bình dân” cực hot này. Bài review toàn diện đang được thực hiện, những kết quả đầu tiên quả thực không làm chúng ta thất vọng: Cùng sở hữu 4 nhân thực và 6 MB cache nhưng Core i3-8100 vượt mặt một số chip i5 thế hệ trước nhờ xung nhịp cao hơn (3,6 GHz).
