Ryzen 3 3100 vs Core i7-4980HQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 3100 is faster than the Core i7-4980HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4980HQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4980HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4980HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4980HQ outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 3100 thanks to a 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.
