TOP-10 CPU

General info

The base and maximum clock speed of the CPU Intel Core i3-11100, number of processing cores and threads.

CPU Cores and Base Frequency

The general performance of a CPU can easily be determined based on the number of its cores and the thread count, as well as the base frequency and Turbo frequency. The more GHz and cores a CPU has, the better. Please note that high technical specs require using a powerful cooling system and a quality chipset (check VRM on the motherboard).

Frequency:	3.80 GHz	CPU Cores:	4
Turbo (1 Core):	4.50 GHz	Hyperthreading:	Yes
Overclocking:	No	Turbo (4 Cores):	4.30 GHz
Core architecture:	normal	A core:	0x
B core:	0x

Internal Graphics

Some manufacturers complement their CPUs with graphic chips, such a solution being especially popular in laptops. The higher the clock frequency of a GPU is and the bigger its memory, the better.
