Ryzen 3 3250U vs Core i3-9100T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3250U beats the Core i3-9100T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9100T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-9100T has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 3250U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-9100T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U. Also, the Core i3-9100T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-9100T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
