Ryzen 3 5300G vs Core i3-10100 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-10100 performs better than the Ryzen 3 5300G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 5300G in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-10100. Despite this, the Core i3-10100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-10100. The Ryzen 3 5300G also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 5300G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
