AMD Ryzen 3 3100 vs Intel Core i7-6700

Ryzen 3 3100 vs Core i7-6700 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 3100 is faster than the Core i7-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 3100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3100 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-6700. The Ryzen 3 3100 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
