About the Intel Core i3-7100H CPU

The Intel Core i3-7100H is an end-of-life 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2017 with a suggested retail price of $225. It is part of Intel's Core i3 lineup, which is based on the Kaby Lake-H microarchitecture. The i3-7100H is compatible with Intel BGA 1440 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD Graphics 630 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i3-7100H supports DDR4-2400, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i3-7100H 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 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 3 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i3-7100H features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.8 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i3-7100H includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD Graphics 630. 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 & Value

The Core i3-7100H has the 421st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 12.32% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 4,559 score and $225 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 20.26. This is the 159th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600H is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The 5600H is compatible with Socket FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on a 7 nm manufacturing process. It features the AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5600H has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 384 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 3 MB, 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 5 5600H features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3300.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4200.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 5 5600H includes an integrated graphics solution called AMD Radeon RX Vega 7. 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 5 5600H has the 162nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 36.68% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
