Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 wins in raw compute capacity. With 4 cores, 8 threads, a 3.00 GHz base clock, and a 4.30 GHz boost clock, it dominates multithreaded workloads and single-thread responsiveness. The 8 MB shared L3 cache doubles the 3100U's 4 MB, and the DDR5 memory interface with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth doubles the memory throughput of the 3100U's DDR4 at 38.4 GB/s. The Ryzen 3 110 also has a higher TDP of 28 watts versus 15 watts, which allows sustained performance under load. It is the pick for compile tasks, content creation, virtual machines, and any workload that scales across threads.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U wins in efficiency and database standing. Its 15-watt TDP makes it the lower-power option for slim notebooks and fanless designs. The 12 nm Picasso chip uses a smaller 96 KB L1 per core versus the 64 KB per core on the Ryzen 3 110, but that does not offset its lower core count. The 3100U's 62nd percentile ranking versus the 110's 50th percentile reflects its average benchmark score of 6247, which is the only recorded average in the database. The 3100U also has a longer production runway, with a release date of 2026-05-31, while the 110 launched on 2025-09-30. For legacy software and light office workloads that rarely use more than two threads, the 3100U delivers adequate performance at lower power draw.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 3 110 uses the Zen 3+ architecture, codenamed Rembrandt-R. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 210 mm². The Ryzen 3 3100U uses the Zen+ architecture, codenamed Picasso, fabricated on a 12 nm process at GlobalFoundries, also with a die size of 210 mm². Both dies are physically the same size, but the 110 packs more transistors into that area due to the denser 6 nm node. The transistor count for the 110 is not listed, while the 3100U lists 4,940 million transistors.

Cache hierarchies differ significantly. The Ryzen 3 110 has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Ryzen 3 3100U has 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. The 110's larger L3 pool helps with data reuse across its four cores. The 3100U's larger L1 per core is a minor advantage for single-threaded code that fits in that level.

Memory architecture diverges completely. The 110 supports DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. The 3100U supports DDR4 with a dual-channel bus and 38.4 GB/s bandwidth. The 110 also supports ECC memory, while the 3100U does not. PCIe capability differs as well: the 110 provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), and the 3100U provides Gen 3 without a listed lane count.

Socket compatibility is not shared. The 110 uses AMD Socket FP7, and the 3100U uses AMD Socket FP5. The part numbers confirm the platform split: the 110 is 100-000000549 (FP7r2), and the 3100U is YM3100C4T2OFG.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records benchmark scores only for the Ryzen 3 3100U, not for the Ryzen 3 110. The 110 has no benchmark entries and no average score. The 3100U has an average benchmark score of 6247 across its recorded tests. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X with an average score of 6231 (0.3% lower), the AMD EPYC 7272 with an average score of 6186 (1% lower), the Intel Core i9-10920X with an average score of 6347 (1.6% higher), and the Intel Core i9-7940X with an average score of 6147 (1.6% lower). This places the 3100U in the upper-mid range of desktop and server processors, despite being a mobile chip.

Looking at the 3100U's individual scores, it posts 38455 in data compression, 1972 in data encryption, 2116 in extended instructions, 18 in find prime numbers, 5854 in floating point math, 8873 in integer math, 3348 in multithread, 232 in physics, 4666 in random string sorting, and 1592 in single-thread (recorded twice as both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread). These numbers show a processor that handles integer math and data compression well but struggles with prime number finding and physics simulations.

The Ryzen 3 110 has no recorded scores in the database, so direct numerical comparison between the two chips is not possible from the measurement data. What can be inferred comes from specifications. The 110's 4-core, 8-thread configuration at 3.00 GHz base and 4.30 GHz boost should deliver substantially higher multithread scores than the 3100U's 2-core, 2-thread configuration at 1.90 GHz base and 3.20 GHz boost. The 110's 8 MB L3 and DDR5 bandwidth should also improve memory-bound workloads. However, the 3100U's 62nd percentile ranking and 6247 average score remain the only measured performance metrics in the database for this pair. The 110's 50th percentile ranking with a zero average score indicates no benchmark submissions have been recorded for it yet.

The largest specification gap is in thread count: 8 threads versus 2 threads, a 4x difference. The boost clock gap is 1.10 GHz in favor of the 110. The memory bandwidth gap is exactly double at 76.8 GB/s versus 38.4 GB/s. The TDP gap is 13 watts in favor of the 3100U's efficiency. These differences define the use-case split: the 110 for throughput, the 3100U for battery life and low heat output. The database shows the 3100U holding its own against high-end desktop parts from several generations ago, which contextualizes its performance class. The 110's specification sheet suggests a more modern and capable part, but until benchmark scores are recorded, the 3100U remains the only one of the two with verified measurement data.
