Ryzen 3 3100 vs Ryzen 5 3550H comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3100 performs better than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3550H 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Ryzen 3 3100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 3550H outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 3100 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
