AMD Ryzen 7 5700U vs Intel Core i3-10100

Ryzen 7 5700U vs Core i3-10100 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5700U performs better than the Core i3-10100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-10100 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5700U has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i3-10100 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10100. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-10100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 5700U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-10100 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 7 5700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-10100. The Ryzen 7 5700U also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
