Ryzen 3 4300U vs Core i3-9100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 4300U is faster than the Core i3-9100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9100 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-9100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U. Also, the Core i3-9100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-9100 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, the Ryzen 3 4300U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-9100. Despite this, the Core i3-9100 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
