Core i3-8100 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U is faster than the Core i3-8100. Despite this, the Core i3-8100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8100. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-8100. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8100. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8100. The Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i3-8100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
