About Intel Core i3-10105T
The Intel Core i3-10105T is a desktop processor in Intel's Core 10th Gen series, built on the Comet Lake-R architecture and 14 nm process. It has 4 cores and 8 threads, with a 3.00 GHz base clock and 3.90 GHz boost clock, a 35 W TDP, and an Intel Socket 1200 interface. The CPU supports DDR4 memory over a dual-channel bus with 42.7 GB/s bandwidth, provides 6 MB of shared L3 cache, and includes Intel UHD Graphics 630 as its integrated graphics. Its production status is Active, its part number is SRH3R, and its release date is 2021-03-15. The average benchmark score is 2061, placing it at the 47th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The launch MSRP is $134.
How It Compares
Intel Core i7-8705G: The i3-10105T and the i7-8705G have identical average benchmark scores of 2061. The deltaPct is 0, so the two processors are exact statistical equals in the database's aggregate metric. Neither CPU holds an edge in this comparison.
Intel Core i3-N300: The comparison against the i3-N300 is also a tie. Both parts resolve to an average score of 2061 with a deltaPct of 0. In the nearest-rival cluster, they occupy the same aggregate performance position.
Intel Core i5-1145GRE: The i3-10105T is marginally ahead of the i5-1145GRE. Its 2061 average score compares to 2058 for the i5-1145GRE, and the deltaPct is 0.1. This is a very narrow lead, but it is the direction recorded in the benchmark data.
Intel Xeon E3-1585 v5: The only negative comparison in the nearest-rival set is against the Xeon E3-1585 v5. The Xeon scores 2067, which is 0.3% higher than the i3-10105T's 2061, represented by a deltaPct of -0.3. The i3-10105T therefore sits slightly behind the Xeon but ahead of or tied with the other three rivals in this group.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
The benchmark set contains four test families with both single-core and multi-core results. In Cinebench R23, the i3-10105T scores 941 single-core and 6671 multi-core. Cinebench R20 produces 395 single-core and 2801 multi-core, while Cinebench R15 produces 94 single-core and 672 multi-core. Geekbench reports 1265 single-core and 3649 multi-core.
Across every test family, the multi-core result is clearly higher than the single-core result. That pattern is consistent with the CPU's 4-core, 8-thread layout, which allows parallel workloads to use eight logical threads. The single-core figures are moderate, and applications that rely on one or two threads will land closer to that end of the spectrum. The multi-core figures are substantially stronger, which makes threaded workloads the better fit for this processor.
This split matters for real workloads. Tasks that can distribute work across threads can move toward the multi-core scores, while lightly threaded tasks are bound by the single-core scores. The benchmark data shows a CPU with a parallel throughput advantage rather than a dominant single-thread result.
Who Should Consider It
- Office and general desktop use: The 4-core/8-thread configuration, 6 MB shared L3 cache, DDR4 dual-channel support, and integrated UHD Graphics 630 make it suitable for everyday desktop systems. The 47th percentile overall standing indicates a mid-low position in the database, but the multithreaded Cinebench and Geekbench results are enough for common productivity workloads.
- Light content creation: The multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 6671 and Geekbench multi-core score of 3649 allow for light rendering, encoding, and image processing. Heavier 3D rendering or long-running export tasks will be slower than what higher-ranked parts deliver, as the average score of 2061 is not at the top of the distribution.
- Gaming systems with a discrete graphics solution: The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 630, which is not a high-performance graphics processor. The CPU's single-core scores, such as 1265 in Geekbench and 941 in Cinebench R23, are moderate. A gaming system using this processor would need a separate graphics card for demanding 3D workloads.
- Low-power desktop builds: With a 35 W TDP and Socket 1200 compatibility, this CPU fits systems where lower power draw is more important than maximum throughput. It is not aimed at extreme multithreaded workloads.

Benchmark Performance
The benchmark results for the i3-10105T are as follows:
| Benchmark | Score |
|---|---|
| Cinebench R15 multi-core | 672 |
| Cinebench R15 single-core | 94 |
| Cinebench R20 multi-core | 2801 |

The average benchmark score is 2061, and the CPU ranks in the 47th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The nearest-rival data places this result in a tight band. The i7-8705G and i3-N300 both match the 2061 average exactly with a deltaPct of 0. The i5-1145GRE sits at 2058, which is 0.1% behind the i3-10105T. The Xeon E3-1585 v5 leads this group with 2067, placing the i3-10105T 0.3% behind it.
The deltas of 0, 0, 0.1, and -0.3 show that the i3-10105T is effectively indistinguishable from its nearest rivals at the aggregate level. The differences are small enough that no single percentage point represents a substantial performance gap. Instead, the CPU belongs to a cluster of processors clustered around the 2061 average score.
Within its own benchmark set, the multi-core scores are consistently higher than the single-core scores. The Geekbench multi-core result of 3649, for example, is well above the Geekbench single-core result of 1265, and every Cinebench version follows the same direction. This confirms that the processor's strongest performance comes from workloads that can use multiple threads. The single-core results remain usable but do not define the processor's performance profile.
