Core i3-8100 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X performs better than the Core i3-8100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8100 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i3-8100 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8100. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-8100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-8100 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has more L2 cache than the Core i3-8100. The Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X also has significantly more L3 cache.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i3-8100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
