Core m3-8100Y Details

The Intel Core m3-8100Y stands out for its impressive single-core performance, ranking #1011 in single-core scores among 2060 processors. Despite its modest multicore and overall performance, this processor delivers a strong single-threaded experience, making it suitable for light productivity and occasional multitasking. Built on Intel's 14 nm process, the m3-8100Y features a 2-core, 4-thread design with a base frequency of 1.1 GHz and a turbo boost up to 3.4 GHz, allowing it to handle modern applications efficiently under load.

This processor is designed for ultra-low-power systems, with a thermal envelope of just 5 W, making it ideal for fanless or passive-cooled devices such as ultrabooks and small-form-factor PCs. It uses the FCBGA1515 socket and supports LPDDR3-1866 and DDR3L-1600 memory, with up to 16 GB of RAM and a maximum bandwidth of 29.8 GB/s. The integrated HD Graphics 615 GPU operates at up to 900 MHz, supporting up to three displays and providing sufficient graphical capability for basic multimedia and office work.

The m3-8100Y includes a range of modern features such as AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, which contribute to its strong single-core efficiency. It also supports Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep (EIST), VT-x, and VT-d virtualization, as well as TXT and SMEP for security and virtualization. While it lacks ECC memory support, its inclusion of technologies like Secure Key and SIPP enhances its reliability and security profile.

In benchmark tests, the processor achieves a multicore score of 4,417 (#1414), a single-core score of 4,894 (#1011), and an overall score of 4,703 (#1102). These results place it ahead of several mainstream desktop and mobile CPUs, including the Core i5-680 and FX-4350, but behind more modern and higher-tier processors. In the Passmark categories, it scores 4,538 in number crunching, 4,504 in data processing, and 4,551 in physics compute, showing balanced performance across different workloads.

As of March 2026, the Core m3-8100Y is no longer a competitive option for high-performance computing, but it remains relevant in niche markets requiring low power consumption and quiet operation. It is best suited for lightweight laptops, embedded systems, or thin clients where energy efficiency and thermal control are more critical than raw computational power. Its strong single-core performance ensures responsiveness in everyday tasks, even as newer processors dominate the high-end market.
