AMD Ryzen 3 1200 vs Intel Core i3-12100

Ryzen 3 1200 vs Core i3-12100 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-12100 beats the Ryzen 3 1200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1200 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-12100 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-12100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 1200. Also, the Core i3-12100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-12100 outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 1200 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
