AMD Ryzen 3 110 vs AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database currently contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 3 110 and the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D. The recorded measurements for the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, however, provide a clear picture of its performance envelope, while the Ryzen 3 110 has no benchmark scores listed in the database at all. This absence of comparative data means the analysis must rely on the architecture specifications and the existing benchmark results for the Ryzen 7 9850X3D alone.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22807 and a single-core score of 2228. In Cinebench R15, it records 3551 multi-core and 343 single-core. These results place the processor at the 92nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 58386 sits close to several rivals: it is 0.1% ahead of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M (58323), 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i9-14900 (58115), and 0.2% behind the Intel Xeon w5-2545 (58504). The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 leads it by 0.7% with a score of 58826.

PassMark results for the Ryzen 7 9850X3D further characterize its strengths. The multi-thread score is 41318, while single-thread performance records 4704. Integer math reaches 123140, floating point math reaches 81998, and extended instructions score 39272. Data compression scores 474501, data encryption scores 22856, and random string sorting scores 49764. Physics tests record 4171, and prime number finding scores 435.

Since the Ryzen 3 110 has no benchmark entries, the head-to-head comparison cannot be expressed in measured scores. The database indicates zero wins for each processor in direct competition. The only quantitative comparison available comes from the specification differences, which are substantial. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D doubles the core count and thread count of the Ryzen 3 110, and its clock speeds are far higher. This specification gap strongly suggests that the Ryzen 7 9850X3D would dominate in any multi-threaded workload, but such a conclusion is inferred from the recorded data rather than directly measured.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations and target different market segments. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 uses the Zen 3+ architecture, codenamed Rembrandt-R, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It is a mobile processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, base clock of 3.00 GHz, and boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Its thermal design power is 28 watts, and it fits the AMD Socket FP7. The die size is 210 mm².

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D belongs to the 9000 series, uses the Zen 5 architecture, and carries the codename Granite Ridge. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clock is 4.70 GHz, boost clock is 5.60 GHz, and TDP is 120 watts. It uses the AMD Socket AM5 and has a die size of 70.6 mm². The transistor count is recorded at 8,315 million. This processor is unlocked, allowing multiplier adjustment, while the Ryzen 3 110 is locked.

Cache configurations differ sharply. The Ryzen 3 110 provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache. The L3 difference is enormous, with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D offering twelve times the shared L3 capacity. This large L3 cache is a defining feature of the X3D series and directly benefits workloads that repeatedly access large datasets.

Memory support also differs. Both support DDR5 and dual-channel memory buses, but the Ryzen 7 9850X3D has a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s for the Ryzen 3 110. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count: the Ryzen 3 110 uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Ryzen 7 9850X3D uses Gen 5 with 24 lanes.

Integrated graphics are present in both. The Ryzen 3 110 includes a Radeon 660M, while the Ryzen 7 9850X3D includes a generic Radeon Graphics solution. The production status for both is active, and the Ryzen 3 110 was released on 2025-09-30, with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D following on 2026-01-28.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is the clear performance leader based on every recorded measurement. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with boost clocks up to 5.60 GHz and a 96 MB L3 cache, make it suited for multi-threaded rendering, compilation, scientific computing, and data processing. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22807 and PassMark multi-thread score of 41318 confirm strong parallel throughput. The 92nd percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database places it well above the median processor, and its nearest rivals are all high-end workstation or desktop parts with average scores within 0.7% of its own.

The Ryzen 3 110 has no benchmark scores in the database, so its wins cannot be quantified. Its specifications, however, point to a different role. The 28 watt TDP and mobile socket indicate a low-power part for thin-and-light laptops or embedded systems. Its 4 cores and 8 threads are sufficient for basic productivity, web browsing, and light content creation. The integrated Radeon 660M provides graphics capability without a discrete GPU. The 6 nm process and 3.00 GHz base clock suggest efficiency is prioritized over raw performance.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D also wins on connectivity and memory bandwidth. The Gen 5 PCIe interface with 24 lanes supports faster storage and expansion cards, and the 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth reduces bottlenecks in memory-intensive tasks. The unlocked multiplier allows overclocking, which can extend performance further in systems with adequate cooling. The Ryzen 3 110 lacks this flexibility due to its locked multiplier.

The Verdict

The data in the database points to the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D as the stronger processor by every measurable metric. Its benchmark scores, including 22807 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 41318 in PassMark multi-thread, place it at the 92nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are all high-end parts, and it trades positions with them within a 0.7% margin. For users building a desktop system with demanding workloads, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D is the appropriate choice based on the recorded data.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110, with no benchmark scores available, cannot be placed on the same performance scale. Its specifications indicate a low-power mobile processor with modest core count and clock speeds. It is not designed for heavy multi-threaded work, but rather for efficiency-focused systems where the 28 watt TDP and integrated Radeon 660M are advantages. The choice between these two processors is therefore not a contest of equals; it is a decision between a high-end desktop part and a low-power mobile part.

The launch MSRP of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D is $499. The Ryzen 3 110 has no recorded launch MSRP. Beyond price, the architectural gap is decisive: Zen 5 versus Zen 3+, 4 nm versus 6 nm, 96 MB versus 8 MB of L3 cache, and 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth. None of these differences favor the Ryzen 3 110 in performance terms.
