Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i3-8100T belongs to the Coffee Lake S processor generation and was specifically developed for use in desktop systems. With its four physical cores and four threads, it provides a truly solid foundation for everyday use. Everyday tasks, such as office applications and simple web browsing, can be done smoothly with it.

Media playback also works without any problems. A clear advantage of this model is its integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630. This graphics unit enables system operation without a separate graphics card. It is ideal for compact business PCs, and home theater PCs (HTPCs) also benefit noticeably from it.

We were pleasantly surprised at the time how well this combination worked in practice. Particularly noteworthy is the "T" in the processor's name, as this stands for optimized energy efficiency. The Intel Core i3-8100T requires comparatively little power, making it perfect for use in mini-PCs.

Low-noise systems also benefit from its low heat generation. It was manufactured using the proven 14 nm process. A 6 MB Level 3 cache additionally supports fast data processing. Overall, the Intel Core i3-8100T remains an extremely reliable choice. It offers balanced performance for a wide range of applications.

  • Four physical cores
  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630
  • Optimized energy efficiency
  • Reliable performance for everyday use
