Hyperthreading does have some play here, but the more significant difference would be not only in that 10th-gen has a higher clock speed, but that 10th-gen intel brought an 18% IPC improvement to its processors.
WRONG
10th gen to 6th gen are all based on same exact architecture (skylake). ZERO IPC difference. only 11th gen and 12th gen has higher IPC
Core i3 10100 and 9100 has same base clock speed and only 100Mhz difference in turbo boost.
Only real difference is that 10th gen i3 has HT enabled
I'm even surprised that no one corrected you, and your comment even got liked by one user. LOL
If you want to determine what role hyperthreading plays, you have to disable it on the 10100 and compare it to it not being disabled, which provides mixed results (see:
). Cores always beat out threads because cores don't share resources like threads do. 8C/8T almost always beats out 6C/12T and will certainly always beat out 4C/8T.
Your video show i5 10400 (not core i3)
Comparing 6C/12T to 6C/6T is not same as 4C/8T to 4C/8T
I was talking turning off HT on quad core have huge impact on fps (not 6 cores and 8 cores)
Here is video shows i3 10100 SMT on and off.....
HT impact varies from game to game but in some games you get huge loss in fps when you turn off HT on
quad core CPU
It's the right conclusion, but for different reasons. Core latency isn't the only killer. L3 cache access latency is, as well. The E- cores have no dedicated L3; they share the P- cores' L3 cache, so it's an effective "off core" traversal each time.
Also, lack of HT on quad core kill fps in some titles (specially minimum fps). The biggest killer is lack of HT
At least two of the games the review tested (Battlefeild V and shadow of tomb raider) shown that they need HT on quad core for smooth experience (i3 10100 and 9100F are same CPU (both are skylake architecture and same IPC) but 9100F has no HT)
If they tested 8 E cores, things would have been so different. 4c/4t won't run some games smoothly even if is big cores (specially if look at minimum fps or 1% lows)
