Intel® Core™ i3-7100

The Intel Core i3-7100 is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 4 threads, built on the Kaby Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Jan 2017. A 3-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1151 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 51 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT). Feex currently counts 1 machine in its hardware fleet with exactly this processor.

The Intel Core i3-7100 scores 2,268 in single-core performance and 4,314 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,128 for overall performance, 5,979 for productivity performance, 6,455 for creator performance, 4,017 for engineering performance and 7,883 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,157 per core, 1,079 per thread and 85 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 438. Its performance index is 39, so its overall performance is 61% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i3-7100 scores 13,255 in integer math, 8,171 in floating-point math, 59,039 in compression, 1,442 in cryptography, 313 in physics simulation, 4,016 in vector SIMD, 14 in the prime sieve and 7,512 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 77% below in integer math, 82% below in floating-point math, 74% below in compression, 87% below in cryptography, 71% below in physics simulation, 74% below in vector SIMD, 79% below in the prime sieve and 67% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i3-7100 has 2 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.90 GHz.

The Intel Core i3-7100 is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i3 family, uses the Kaby Lake architecture, carries the codename Kaby Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jan 2017.

The Intel Core i3-7100 has 128 KB of L1 cache, 512 KB of L2 cache and 3 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 3.6 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i3-7100 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 128 KB, L2 at 512 KB and L3 at 3 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.
