AMD Ryzen 3 2300X vs Intel Core i3-10100F

Ryzen 3 2300X vs Core i3-10100F benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-10100F beats the Ryzen 3 2300X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2300X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-10100F has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-10100F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 2300X. Also, the Core i3-10100F 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.

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 2300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
