About the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 CPU

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2020 with a suggested retail price of $99. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 3 lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The 3100 is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 3 3100 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3100 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 3 3100 features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.6 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.9 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 3 3100 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Ryzen 3 3100 has the 231st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 28.93% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 10,702 score and $99 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 108.1. This is the 3rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U CPU

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700U is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2017. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 7 lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 2700U is compatible with AMD Socket FP5 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon RX Vega 10 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 7 2700U supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 2700U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 7 2700U features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.2 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.8 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 7 2700U includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon RX Vega 10. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Ryzen 7 2700U has the 396th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 14.72% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
