Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture and manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. The foundational design is the same, but the configurations diverge significantly. The Intel Core i7-1360P belongs to the Raptor Lake-P codename family, while the Intel Core 3 100HL uses the Raptor Lake-PS codename. The i7-1360P is a 12-core, 16-thread part with a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Core 3 100HL is an 8-core, 12-thread part with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The i7-1360P therefore has a 50% core advantage and a 33% thread advantage, plus higher clocks on both ends.

The cache hierarchy differs in the final level. Both chips use 80 KB L1 per core and 2 MB L2 per core, but the i7-1360P has 18 MB of shared L3 cache versus 12 MB on the Core 3 100HL. That is a 50% larger L3 pool on the mobile part, which can benefit workloads with repeated data access patterns.

The platform and power envelopes are distinct. The i7-1360P has a 28 W TDP and uses the Intel BGA 1744 socket, fitting its mobile positioning. The Core 3 100HL has a 45 W TDP and uses Intel Socket 1700, aligning with desktop use. The PCIe connectivity also splits: the i7-1360P provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Core 3 100HL provides Gen 4 with only 8 lanes from the CPU. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, and neither supports ECC memory.

The integrated graphics are a notable separation. The i7-1360P carries Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, double the 48 execution units found in the Core 3 100HL. For any workload that leans on the iGPU, the mobile chip has a structural advantage. The Core 3 100HL, however, has a higher TDP budget, which can allow sustained performance in desktop chassis with adequate cooling.

The release timeline shows the i7-1360P launched in January 2023, while the Core 3 100HL arrived in April 2024. The i7-1360P has a launch MSRP of $480; the Core 3 100HL has no recorded launch MSRP. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The i7-1360P carries the part number SRMJ8, while the Core 3 100HL has an unknown part number.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark results paint a split picture. The Intel Core i7-1360P dominates the older Cinebench R15 and R20 tests, while the Intel Core 3 100HL takes the newer R23 tests. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the i7-1360P scores 1858 against 1506, a 23.4% margin. In single-core R15, it leads 258 to 212, a 21.7% gap. The R20 tests show a tighter race: the i7-1360P wins multi-core 6530 to 6278 (4% ahead) and single-core 921 to 886 (also 4% ahead).

The Cinebench R23 results reverse the trend. The Core 3 100HL scores 14948 in multi-core versus 11266.5 for the i7-1360P, a 24.6% advantage. In single-core R23, the Core 3 100HL leads 2110 to 1829, a 13.3% margin. This is a substantial swing: the desktop part wins the most demanding rendering test by a wide margin despite having fewer cores and threads.

The Passmark suite splits along workload types. The i7-1360P wins in integer math, scoring 67963 versus 56308, a 20.7% lead. It also wins in prime number finding, 78 to 48, a commanding 62.5% advantage. Floating point math goes to the i7-1360P with 45997 against 42108, a 9.2% lead. Physics simulation favors the i7-1360P strongly, 1280 to 928, a 37.9% gap. The i7-1360P also takes the multithread test, 18632 to 17586, a 5.9% margin. Data encryption goes to the i7-1360P, 12463 to 11964, a 4.2% edge. Data compression is nearly even, with the i7-1360P ahead 203746 to 202225, just 0.8%.

The Core 3 100HL wins the remaining Passmark tests. In extended instructions, it scores 12463 versus 11581, a 7.1% advantage. In random string sorting, it leads 23223 to 22522, a 3% margin. In single-thread performance, the Core 3 100HL scores 3735 against 3461, a 7.3% lead. The single-thread result is notable because the i7-1360P has a higher boost clock; the desktop part still manages better single-thread throughput in Passmark.

Overall, the head-to-head record is 11 wins for the i7-1360P and 6 for the Core 3 100HL. The i7-1360P also holds a higher average benchmark score: 24344 against 23545, roughly 3.4% higher. Both chips sit at the 76th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The i7-1360P's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H (0.1% below), the Intel Core i5-13400 (0.3% above), the AMD EPYC 9654P (0.5% below), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7540U (0.6% above). The Core 3 100HL's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U (0.7% below), the Intel Core i5-11500 (0.7% below), the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V (1.1% above), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H (1.2% above).

The Verdict

The data does not declare a single winner. The Intel Core i7-100HL is the choice for users who prioritize the latest Cinebench generation, winning multi-core R23 by 24.6% and single-core R23 by 13.3%. It also offers superior single-thread Passmark performance (7.3% ahead (7.3% ahead) and faster extended instructions, 7.1% ahead) and slightly faster random string sorting. For desktop users with a Socket 1700 platform, the Core 3 100HL fits a 45 W TDP envelope and provides Gen 4 PCIe connectivity with 8 lanes. It has half the iGPU execution units of the i7-1360P, but it is the newer release with a later release date.

The Intel Core i7-1360P is the better overall performer for most traditional workloads. It leads in 11 head-to-head tests, including integer math by 20.7% ahead in integer math, floating point by 9.2% ahead, physics by 37.9% ahead, multithread by 5.9% ahead, and prime number finding by 62.5% ahead. It wins both Cinebench R15 multi-core (23.4% ahead (23.4% ahead) and R20 multi-core (4% ahead) and both R20 single-core tests by 4% ahead. It has a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz) and 50% more L3 cache (18 MB (18 MB shared) and 50% more cores (12 (12 cores) and 33% more threads (16 (16 threads) and twice the iGPU execution units (96 (96 EU) with a launch MSRP of $480. For mobile users on BGA 1744, the i7-1360P delivers stronger all-around performance in the database.

Both processors are active production parts and sit at the 76th percentile. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The choice comes down to workload priorities and platform: the i7-1360P for broad benchmark superiority and mobile deployment, the Core 3 100HL for the newer Cinebench scores and desktop integration.
