AMD Ryzen 3 110 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-78-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database currently contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the AMD Ryzen 3 110 or the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-78-100. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and the win counts for both processors sit at zero. This means there is no direct performance comparison available from measured data, no single-thread or multi-thread results, and no application-specific scores to analyze.

What the data does provide is the structural context for why these two parts would behave very differently in any future benchmark run. The Ryzen 3 110 is a 4-core, 8-thread processor with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The Snapdragon X2E-78-100 is a 12-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 4.00 GHz and no recorded boost clock. Core count and thread count differences alone suggest the Snapdragon should dominate heavily threaded workloads, while the Ryzen’s higher boost clock and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) may help in lightly threaded tasks where single-core speed matters.

Without benchmark data, the only quantitative comparison available is in the specification fields. The Snapdragon’s memory bandwidth is recorded at 152.4 GB/s, which is exactly double the Ryzen’s 76.8 GB/s. That factor-of-two difference in bandwidth is likely to show up in memory-intensive workloads such as large database operations, video encoding with high bitrates, or scientific computing tasks that stream data through main memory. The Ryzen’s L3 cache is 8 MB shared, while the Snapdragon’s L2 cache is 16 MB shared; the Ryzen has no shared L2 figure and the Snapdragon has no L3 figure. Cache hierarchy differences will influence how each part handles repeated access patterns in workloads.

The absence of benchmark scores means the database cannot yet assign a percentile ranking beyond the default 50th percentile for both. Both parts are marked as Active production status, and both target the mobile segment. The recorded data supports only a structural comparison at this time, not a performance verdict.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-78-100 uses the Glymur codename under the Snapdragon X2 (Elite) generation, fabricated on a 3 nm process, also at TSMC. The process node difference, 6 nm versus 3 nm, indicates a significant generational leap in transistor density and power efficiency for the Qualcomm part, though the database does not record transistor counts for either chip.

The die sizes are close: the Ryzen measures 210 mm² and the Snapdragon measures 220 mm². That 10 mm² difference is small, but the Snapdragon packs 12 cores into that slightly larger die, while the Ryzen fits only 4 cores. The core architecture is completely different: Zen 3+ is a traditional x86 design with SMT, allowing 8 threads from 4 cores, while the Snapdragon uses a 12-core, 12-thread configuration with no SMT support indicated. The Snapdragon’s per-core L1 cache is 288 KB, which is substantially larger than the Ryzen’s 64 KB per core. The L2 configuration also differs: the Ryzen has 512 KB per core, while the Snapdragon has 16 MB shared across all cores. The Ryzen’s L3 is 8 MB shared, while the Snapdragon has no L3 recorded.

Memory support diverges sharply. The Ryzen uses DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. The Snapdragon uses LPDDR5X with a dual-channel bus and 152.4 GB/s bandwidth. The Snapdragon’s memory bandwidth advantage is exactly 2x. ECC memory is supported on the Ryzen but not on the Snapdragon, which is relevant for data integrity in compute-heavy workloads. PCIe generation also differs: the Ryzen uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Snapdragon uses Gen 5 with 12 lanes. Gen 5 offers higher per-lane bandwidth, but the Ryzen has more total lanes.

Integrated graphics are present on both: the Ryzen has Radeon 660M, and the Snapdragon has Adreno X2-85. The database does not record any graphics benchmark results, so no direct GPU comparison is possible. The sockets are incompatible: AMD Socket FP7 versus Qualcomm BGA 2343. The Ryzen’s part number is 100-000000549 (FP7r2), and the Snapdragon’s is X2E78100. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not an option for either.

The release dates differ by roughly six months: the Ryzen was released on September 30, 2025, and the Snapdragon on April 5, 2026. Both are listed as Active in production.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on recorded specifications, the Snapdragon X2E-78-100 holds clear advantages in core count, thread count, base clock, memory bandwidth, L2 cache capacity, process node, and PCIe generation. The Ryzen 3 110 counters with a higher boost clock, SMT support, ECC memory capability, more PCIe lanes, and a larger L3 cache.

The Snapdragon’s 12-core, 12-thread configuration gives it a 3x core advantage and a 1.5x thread advantage over the Ryzen. Its base clock of 4.00 GHz is 33% higher than the Ryzen’s 3.00 GHz base. In workloads that scale linearly with cores, such as video rendering, 3D simulation, or server-style multitasking, the Snapdragon should win decisively. The 152.4 GB/s memory bandwidth versus 76.8 GB/s means the Snapdragon can feed its cores faster, which matters for memory-bound workloads. The 16 MB shared L2 cache is double the Ryzen’s total L3, and the L2 is closer to the cores, so repeated data access in tight loops should benefit the Snapdragon.

The Ryzen 3 110 wins in scenarios that favor high single-thread boost clocks and SMT. Its 4.30 GHz boost clock is 30% higher than the Snapdragon’s base clock, and since the Snapdragon has no recorded boost clock, the Ryzen’s top frequency is the highest known figure in this comparison. SMT allows 8 threads on 4 cores, which can help in mixed workloads where the OS schedules multiple light threads. ECC memory support means the Ryzen is suitable for error-sensitive tasks where data corruption is unacceptable, such as financial modeling or scientific computing. The Ryzen’s 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes versus the Snapdragon’s 12 Gen 5 lanes gives the Ryzen more total lane count, which is useful for connecting multiple NVMe drives or other peripherals simultaneously, even if the per-lane speed is lower.

The 3 nm process node gives the Snapdragon a theoretical power efficiency advantage, but the database records no TDP for the Snapdragon, while the Ryzen has a TDP of 28 watts. Without thermal data for the Snapdragon, no direct power comparison is possible.

The Verdict

The database contains no benchmark scores for either processor, so the verdict rests entirely on specification analysis. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X2E-78-100 is the stronger choice for heavily parallel workloads. It has 3x the cores, a 33% higher base clock, 2x the memory bandwidth, double the L2 cache, and a more advanced 3 nm process. Any workload that can utilize 12 threads will see a significant advantage from the Snapdragon, and the memory bandwidth figure alone suggests it can sustain high-throughput operations much better than the Ryzen.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 is the better pick for single-thread-sensitive tasks and error-tolerant computing. Its 4.30 GHz boost clock is the highest frequency recorded in this comparison, and SMT gives it 8 threads from 4 cores, which can help in mixed desktop workloads. ECC memory support makes it suitable for applications where data integrity is critical. The Ryzen also offers more PCIe lanes (20 versus 12), which benefits users connecting multiple high-speed peripherals.

The Snapdragon’s lack of recorded boost clock, TDP, and L3 cache data leaves gaps in the analysis. The Ryzen’s 28-watt TDP is the only thermal figure available. For mobile devices where battery life matters, the 3 nm Snapdragon may be more efficient, but without measured power data, that remains speculative.

Users who need maximum multi-core throughput, high memory bandwidth, and the latest PCIe standard should select the Snapdragon X2E-78-100. Users who require ECC memory, the highest single-core boost clock, or more PCIe lane count should select the AMD Ryzen 3 110. The database will provide a clearer verdict once benchmark scores are recorded for both parts.
