Ryzen 5 3550H vs Ryzen 3 4100 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 4100 performs better than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3550H 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 Ryzen 3 4100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Ryzen 3 4100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3550H CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 3 4100 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and 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 5 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
