Ryzen 3 3100 vs Ryzen 9 8945HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 8945HS is faster than the Ryzen 3 3100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3100 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3100. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3100. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3100. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 8945HS has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3100. Also, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 8945HS 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 9 8945HS has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 3100. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
