Core i3-9100 vs Ryzen 3 7320U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-9100 beats the Ryzen 3 7320U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 7320U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 3 7320U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 7320U. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 7320U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-9100. Despite this, the Core i3-9100 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 7320U.

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 i3-9100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
