AMD Ryzen 3 3200U vs Intel Core i3-8100

Ryzen 3 3200U vs Core i3-8100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8100 is faster than the Ryzen 3 3200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3200U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-8100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3200U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3200U. Also, the Core i3-8100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-8100 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i3-8100 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
