Ryzen 5 3550H vs Core i3-8100T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3550H performs better than the Core i3-8100T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8100T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-8100T has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3550H. 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 3550H has more L2 cache than the Core i3-8100T. Despite this, the Core i3-8100T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H.

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 5 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
