Ryzen 3 3100 vs Core i5-3470 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 3100 is faster than the Core i5-3470. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3470 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 3 3100 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 3100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3470. Also, the Ryzen 3 3100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3470 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
