Ryzen 3 1300X vs Ryzen 3 3100 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3100 performs better than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1300X in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 3 3100 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 3100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 1300X. Also, the Ryzen 3 3100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 3 3100 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 Ryzen 3 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
