AMD Ryzen 3 210 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-84-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 3 210 enters this comparison with a substantial body of recorded benchmark data, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-84-100 currently has no benchmark entries in the database. This asymmetry defines the entire head-to-head analysis: the Ryzen 3 210 delivers measurable scores across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, as well as a full PassMark suite, whereas the Snapdragon X1E-84-100 sits at an avgBenchmarkScore of 0 with zero recorded tests.

Focusing on the available data, the Ryzen 3 210 shows a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 11198 and a single-core score of 1581. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 4703, with a single-core score of 664. The older Cinebench R15 run produces 1128 multi-core and 159 single-core. These numbers place the chip in the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 17321.

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 3 210 provide context for its standing. The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 averages 17333, a delta of -0.1 percent relative to the Ryzen 3 210, meaning the two are effectively tied in overall average score. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G sits at 17278, a 0.2 percent gap in favor of the Ryzen 3 210. The Intel Core 7 150U posts 17395, putting the Ryzen 3 210 0.4 percent behind. The Intel Core i5-12450H reaches 17239, with the Ryzen 3 210 ahead by 0.5 percent. These margins are all within a single percentage point, indicating that the Ryzen 3 210 competes in a tightly packed performance band.

PassMark results for the Ryzen 3 210 show a single-thread score of 3724, a multithread score of 13585, and specialized tests including floating point math at 23649, integer math at 37933, data compression at 152017, and data encryption at 8607. Extended instructions score 11464, prime number finding scores 49, random string sorting scores 19454, and physics scores 821. These figures give a complete picture of the Ryzen 3 210's workload behavior, but with no corresponding Snapdragon X1E-84-100 scores, there is no direct basis for a win/loss tally. The database shows winsA as 0 and winsB as 0, reflecting the absence of paired benchmark results.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in core configuration. The AMD Ryzen 3 210 uses 4 cores with 8 threads, built on the Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-84-100 uses 12 cores with 12 threads, meaning it lacks simultaneous multithreading entirely. The Snapdragon's Oryon codename and Snapdragon X Elite generation mark it as a fundamentally different design from AMD's x86 approach.

Process technology is identical: both use a 4 nm node from TSMC. The Ryzen 3 210 carries 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die, while the Snapdragon X1E-84-100 has no recorded transistor count or die size in the database.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The Ryzen 3 210 provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Snapdragon X1E-84-100 offers 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and 6 MB of shared L3. The Ryzen's per-core L1 and L2 are smaller individually, but its 8 MB L3 is larger than the Snapdragon's 6 MB L3.

Clock speeds also separate the pair. The Ryzen 3 210 has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The Snapdragon X1E-84-100 runs at a higher 3.80 GHz base but a lower 4.20 GHz boost. The Ryzen's boost advantage of 0.50 GHz contrasts with the Snapdragon's base clock lead of 0.80 GHz.

Memory support differs by type and bandwidth. The Ryzen 3 210 uses DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Snapdragon X1E-84-100 uses LPDDR5X, also dual-channel, but with a higher 135.2 GB/s bandwidth. Neither chip supports ECC memory.

PCIe lanes are close but not equal: the Ryzen 3 210 offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Snapdragon X1E-84-100 provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the Ryzen 3 210 pairs with a Radeon 740M, and the Snapdragon X1E-84-100 uses an Adreno X1-85.

The Ryzen 3 210 fits AMD Socket FP7, while the Snapdragon X1E-84-100 uses Qualcomm BGA 2073. The Ryzen 3 210 has a TDP of 28, the Snapdragon X1E-84-100 a TDP of 35. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. Release dates place the Ryzen 3 210 at 2025-01-05 and the Snapdragon X1E-84-100 at 2024-04-23, a gap of roughly eight months.

Where Each One Wins

Without benchmark scores for the Snapdragon X1E-84-100, the win analysis relies on architectural attributes rather than measured performance. The Ryzen 3 210 wins in boost clock territory: its 4.70 GHz maximum exceeds the Snapdragon's 4.20 GHz, which can benefit single-threaded workloads that scale with peak frequency. The Ryzen also has a larger shared L3 cache at 8 MB versus 6 MB, potentially aiding workloads with shared data access patterns. Its 14 PCIe Gen 4 lanes give it two additional lanes over the Snapdragon's 12, a minor advantage for peripheral connectivity.

The Snapdragon X1E-84-100 counters with more cores: 12 versus 4, a threefold increase. Even without simultaneous multithreading, 12 physical cores can outperform 4 cores with 8 threads in heavily parallel workloads, provided software scales across cores. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz is higher than the Ryzen's 3.00 GHz, which can improve sustained performance under all-core loads. The Snapdragon's LPDDR5X memory support delivers 135.2 GB/s bandwidth versus the Ryzen's 89.6 GB/s, a 51 percent advantage that benefits memory-intensive applications. The larger per-core L1 cache at 288 KB versus 64 KB and per-module L2 at 12 MB versus 1 MB per core suggest a design aimed at reducing memory latency for frequently accessed data.

The TDP difference favors the Ryzen 3 210: 28 watts versus 35 watts, indicating lower nominal power draw. The Snapdragon's higher TDP aligns with its larger core count and memory bandwidth, but the Ryzen's lower figure may suit thinner, passively cooled chassis. Neither chip offers ECC memory, so that factor does not differentiate them.

The database records the Ryzen 3 210 in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, while the Snapdragon X1E-84-100 sits at the 50th percentile, though this ranking for the Snapdragon is based on no recorded benchmark scores and an average score of 0, so it should not be read as a performance verdict. The Ryzen's nearest rivals cluster within 0.5 percent, reinforcing that its measured performance is competitive with a range of mainstream mobile and desktop parts.
