AMD Ryzen 3 3100U vs Intel Core 5 130UL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U, but no recorded Passmark results for the Intel Core 5 130UL. The Intel part has an average benchmark score of 0 in the database, with an empty benchmark array. This means no head-to-head comparison can be made from recorded measurements. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U’s average benchmark score is 6,247, placing it in the 62nd percentile of all CPUs tracked. The Intel Core 5 130UL sits at the 50th percentile with a score of 0, which reflects missing data rather than actual performance.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U’s individual Passmark results provide a reference point: data compression scores 38,455, data encryption 1,972, extended instructions 2,116, prime number finding 18, floating point math 5,854, integer math 8,873, multithread 3,348, physics 232, random string sorting 4,666, and single thread 1,592. These numbers establish a baseline for what the Ryzen 3 3100U can deliver in each workload category. Without corresponding Intel results, the only valid statement is that the Intel Core 5 130UL has no recorded benchmark data in this database.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U are all desktop processors with higher core counts: the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X scores 6,231 (0.3% lower), the AMD EPYC 7272 scores 6,186 (1% lower), the Intel Core i9-10920X scores 6,347 (1.6% higher), and the Intel Core i9-7940X scores 6,147 (1.6% lower). These delta percentages show that the Ryzen 3 3100U’s average score falls within a narrow 1.6% band of these much larger chips. The Intel Core 5 130UL has no nearest rivals listed, so no comparative performance statements can be made for it.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U uses the Picasso codename, built on the Zen+ architecture. It is a 2-core, 2-thread processor with a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 3.20 GHz. The process node is 12 nm, manufactured by GlobalFoundries, with 4,940 million transistors on a 210 mm² die. Cache configuration includes 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 over a dual-channel bus with 38.4 GB/s bandwidth. PCIe is Gen 3, and the integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 8. The socket is AMD Socket FP5, and the market segment is Mobile. The part number is YM3100C4T2OFG, and the multiplier is locked.

The Intel Core 5 130UL uses the Raptor Lake-PS codename, based on Raptor Lake architecture. It is a 10-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 1.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The process node is 10 nm, manufactured by Intel. Cache configuration includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support covers both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, though memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database. PCIe is Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics are Iris Xe Graphics 80EU. The socket is Intel Socket 1700, and the market segment is Desktop. The multiplier is locked, and the part number is listed as unknown.

Key architectural differences: the AMD part uses 12 nm versus Intel’s 10 nm; the AMD has 2 cores and 2 threads versus Intel’s 10 cores and 12 threads; the AMD has 4 MB shared L3 versus Intel’s 12 MB shared L3; the AMD supports only DDR4 while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5; the AMD uses Gen 3 PCIe while Intel uses Gen 4 PCIe; the AMD is a mobile chip while Intel is a desktop chip. The AMD has a smaller L1 per core (96 KB vs 80 KB) but a larger L2 per core (512 KB vs 1.25 MB). The AMD has a higher base clock (1.90 vs 1.60 GHz) but a lower boost clock (3.20 vs 4.70 GHz). Both have a 15 W TDP and both lack ECC memory support.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear situation: the Intel Core 5 130UL has no recorded benchmark scores, making direct performance comparison impossible. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U has a full benchmark profile with an average score of 6,247 and a 62nd percentile ranking. The Intel part sits at the 50th percentile with a score of 0, which indicates missing data, not a performance result.

From the recorded data alone, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is the only processor with measured performance. Users looking for a mobile processor with a 15 W TDP and Radeon Vega 8 graphics have a documented option in the AMD part. The Intel Core 5 130UL targets the desktop segment with a 15 W TDP, 10 cores, 12 threads, and Iris Xe Graphics, but its benchmark results are absent from the database.

The architectural differences are substantial: the Intel part has 5 times the cores and 6 times the threads, a much higher boost clock (4.70 vs 3.20 GHz), and 3 times the shared L3 cache (12 MB vs 4 MB). The AMD part has a higher base clock (1.90 vs 1.60 GHz) and a larger L1 per core. The Intel part supports newer memory standards (DDR5) and a newer PCIe generation (Gen 4). The AMD part uses an older 12 nm node versus Intel’s 10 nm node. These specifications indicate the Intel part should have higher performance potential, but the database lacks any measurements to confirm that.

For the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U, the nearest rival comparisons show it performing within 1.6% of much larger desktop processors like the Threadripper 1950X and Core i9-10920X. This suggests the Ryzen 3 3100U’s average score of 6,247 is competitive with those chips in the database’s aggregate metric. The Intel Core 5 130UL cannot be assessed similarly due to the absence of data.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U wins in the only category with recorded data: benchmark availability. It has 11 Passmark scores covering data compression, encryption, extended instructions, prime numbers, floating point math, integer math, multithread, physics, random string sorting, and single thread. Its average score of 6,247 and 62nd percentile ranking are the only measurable performance indicators in the database. The nearest rivals show it within 1.6% of processors like the Intel Core i9-10920X and AMD Threadripper 1950X, indicating its aggregate score is competitive with those high-end parts.

The Intel Core 5 130UL wins on architectural specifications. It has 10 cores and 12 threads versus 2 cores and 2 threads, a 4.70 GHz boost clock versus 3.20 GHz, 12 MB shared L3 versus 4 MB, support for DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 4, and a newer 10 nm process node. These specifications suggest higher potential performance in multithreaded and memory-intensive workloads, but the database has no measurements to verify this.

From a use-case perspective, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is a mobile processor with Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, suited for laptops with a 15 W TDP. The Intel Core 5 130UL is a desktop processor with Iris Xe Graphics 80EU, also at 15 W TDP, aimed at low-power desktop systems. The AMD part offers a higher base clock, which may benefit lightly threaded tasks that rely on sustained clock speed. The Intel part offers more cores, more threads, and a much higher boost clock, which should favor bursty workloads and heavily threaded applications.
