Core i3-8100 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U performs better than the Core i3-8100. Despite this, the Core i3-8100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U outputs less heat than Core i3-8100 thanks to a 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 2700U has more L2 cache than the Core i3-8100. Despite this, the Core i3-8100 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U.

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.
