Ryzen 3 3300X vs Core i3-12100F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-12100F is faster than the Ryzen 3 3300X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3300X in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-12100F. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i3-12100F outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 3300X thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
