AMD Ryzen 3 210 vs AMD Ryzen 3 7335U Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded benchmark data splits these two mobile processors into clear roles. The AMD Ryzen 3 210 wins 14 of the 17 head-to-head tests, while the AMD Ryzen 3 7335U takes 3. If the task is raw throughput, the Ryzen 3 210 is the consistent choice. The Ryzen 3 7335U, however, holds specific advantages in integer math, floating point math, and data encryption, which makes it the better pick for workloads that lean on those particular instruction patterns.

The Ryzen 3 210 posts an average benchmark score of 17321, placing it at the 71st percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Ryzen 3 7335U averages 16827, sitting at the 70th percentile. The gap is small in percentile terms, but the per-test deltas reveal where the real separation lives. The Ryzen 3 210 is notably faster in single-threaded work, prime number finding, physics simulation, and random string sorting. The Ryzen 3 7335U counters with a 12% lead in integer math and an 8.5% lead in encryption.

For a buyer choosing between these two, the data suggests the Ryzen 3 210 for general productivity, rendering, and any workload that benefits from higher boost clocks and newer architecture. The Ryzen 3 7335U makes sense for encryption-heavy tasks or integer-heavy number crunching where its specific strengths outweigh the overall deficit. Neither chip is unlocked for overclocking, and both share the same 28 W TDP and FP7 socket, so platform compatibility will not differentiate them.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations. The Ryzen 3 7335U is built on Zen 3+ with the Rembrandt-R codename, while the Ryzen 3 210 uses Zen 4 with the Hawk Point codename. The process node tells part of the story: the 7335U is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, and the 210 moves to a 4 nm process at the same foundry. The die size reflects this shift, with the 7335U measuring 208 mm² and the 210 shrinking to 137 mm². The transistor count for the 7335U is not recorded, but the 210 packs 20,900 million transistors into that smaller die.

Cache configurations differ as well. Both chips have 64 KB of L1 per core and 8 MB of shared L3, but the L2 cache changes: the 7335U has 512 KB per core, while the 210 doubles that to 1 MB per core. That larger L2 could contribute to the 210's lead in latency-sensitive workloads. The integrated graphics also differ, with the 7335U featuring Radeon 660M and the 210 using Radeon 740M. Both support DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, but the memory bandwidth numbers are not identical: the 7335U records 76.8 GB/s, while the 210 reaches 89.6 GB/s.

PCIe lane counts separate them further. The 7335U offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the 210 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only). ECC memory support is another differentiator: the 7335U supports ECC, the 210 does not. The 7335U released on January 3, 2023, and the 210 followed on January 5, 2025. Both are listed as active in production, and both are mobile segment parts.

The overall win count is lopsided: the Ryzen 3 210 takes 14 head-to-head tests, and the Ryzen 3 7335U takes 3. The average benchmark score reflects this, with the 210 at 17321 and the 7335U at 16827.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 3 210 is the clear choice for rendering and multi-threaded productivity. Its Cinebench wins are consistent across every version in the data, with a 4.4% edge in R15, R20, and R23 multicore tests. The 210 also wins the Passmark multithread test by 7.3%, which reinforces its strength in parallel workloads. Physics simulation is a standout: the 210 leads by 21.2%, suggesting a meaningful advantage for any physics-based computation. Random string sorting shows a 21% win, which points to strong memory handling and sorting efficiency. The 18% lead in single-thread Passmark tests makes it the better option for everyday responsiveness and lightly threaded applications. Prime number finding, a test that rewards fast integer execution and efficient loop handling, goes to the 210 by 26.5%. Extended instructions favor the 210 by 10%, and data compression by 3.8%.

The Ryzen 3 7335U wins in three specific areas. Data encryption is its strongest category at 8.5% ahead, which makes it the better pick for encryption workloads or security-focused tasks. Floating point math goes to the 7335U by 2.7%, a modest but real advantage for floating-point-heavy calculations. Integer math is its most significant win at 12%, meaning workloads that rely heavily on integer arithmetic, such as certain types of scientific computing or financial modeling, may run better on the older chip. The 7335U also offers ECC memory support, which the 210 lacks, and that could matter for users who require error-correcting memory in their mobile workstation setup.

The verdict from the data is straightforward. The Ryzen 3 210 is the faster chip overall, with a higher average score, a higher percentile ranking, and wins in the majority of tests. The Ryzen 3 7335U is not obsolete, though. Its encryption, floating point, and integer math wins give it a niche, and its ECC support adds a feature the 210 cannot match. For most users, the 210's boost clock advantage and architecture update make it the stronger daily driver. For users with encryption-heavy or integer-heavy workloads, or those who need ECC, the 7335U remains a viable alternative.
