Analysis: AMD Ryzen 3 3100U vs Intel Processor 300
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The recorded data does not include any direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U and the Intel Processor 300. The head-to-head benchmark field is empty, and neither processor has wins recorded in the comparison. However, individual benchmark scores exist for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U, allowing partial analysis. The Intel Processor 300 has no benchmark scores in the database, so a direct numerical comparison is impossible.
The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U shows a single-thread score of 1592 and a multithread score of 3348. Its average benchmark score is 6247, which places it at the 62nd percentile among all CPUs. The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U include the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X with an average score of 6231 (0.3% behind), the AMD EPYC 7272 with 6186 (1% behind), the Intel Core i9-10920X with 6347 (1.6% ahead), and the Intel Core i9-7940X with 6147 (1.6% behind). These deltas indicate the Ryzen 3 3100U sits within a narrow performance band around these much higher-tier processors, despite being a low-power mobile part. The data suggests the Ryzen 3 3100U’s average score is competitive with those older high-end desktop chips, though that comparison stems from the database’s averaging methodology rather than direct testing.
For the Intel Processor 300, the database lists no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile rank is 50, but with an average benchmark score of zero, this percentile likely reflects the absence of data rather than measured performance. The head-to-head table shows zero wins for both processors, confirming that no direct comparison data has been recorded.
Architecture Differences
The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U uses the Picasso codename, based on the Zen+ architecture, and belongs to the 3000 series. It is manufactured on a 12 nm process at GlobalFoundries, with a die size of 210 mm² and 4,940 million transistors. It has 2 cores and 2 threads, with a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 3.20 GHz. The cache layout includes 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. It supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s. The integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 8, and it uses PCIe Gen 3. The socket is AMD Socket FP5.
The Intel Processor 300 uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-S. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 163 mm². Transistor count is not recorded. It has 2 cores and 4 threads, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and no boost clock listed. The cache layout includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus, though memory bandwidth is not recorded. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 710, and it uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The socket is Intel Socket 1700.
Key differences emerge in process node, clock strategy, thread count, and platform support. The AMD part uses 12 nm versus Intel’s 10 nm, and the AMD chip has fewer threads (2 versus 4). The Intel processor clocks significantly higher at 3.90 GHz base versus 1.90 GHz base for AMD, though AMD has a boost clock of 3.20 GHz while Intel lists none. The L3 cache is larger on the Intel part at 6 MB versus 4 MB, but AMD has a smaller die at 210 mm² versus 163 mm² (note: smaller die is Intel). Memory support differs: AMD only supports DDR4, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. PCIe generation also differs: AMD uses Gen 3, Intel uses Gen 5. The TDP values differ substantially: AMD is 15 watts, Intel is 46 watts. The market segments differ, with AMD listed as Mobile and Intel as Desktop.

The Verdict
The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is a mobile-focused, low-power processor with a measured average benchmark score of 6247 and a 62nd percentile ranking. It competes closely with several high-end desktop parts from older generations, as shown by the nearest rival deltas: 0.3% behind the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, 1% behind the EPYC 7272, 1.6% ahead of the Core i9-7940X, and 1.6% behind the Core i9-10920X. This suggests the Ryzen 3 3100U delivers respectable performance for its power envelope, though its 2-thread limit and low base clock of 1.90 GHz constrain heavy multi-threaded workloads.
The Intel Processor 300 lacks any benchmark scores in the database, so no performance verdict can be drawn from measurements. Its specifications show a desktop part with 4 threads, a 3.90 GHz base clock, and support for DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5, which are modern platform features. The TDP of 46 watts is more than three times higher than the AMD part, indicating a different design target. The Intel processor’s 50th percentile rank, with zero average score, is not meaningful without benchmark data.
For users selecting between these two, the data supports the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U for scenarios where measured performance and low power consumption are priorities, given its 15-watt TDP and recorded scores. The Intel Processor 300 would be chosen based on its specifications alone, such as higher base clock, more threads, larger L3 cache, and newer memory/PCIe support, but no measured data confirms actual performance.

Where Each One Wins
Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U wins in scenarios where measured performance matters, as it is the only processor with benchmark scores. Its average score of 6247 and 62nd percentile rank show it outperforms the database’s baseline in aggregate. It also wins on power efficiency, with a 15-watt TDP compared to Intel’s 46 watts. The AMD part has a smaller process node advantage in terms of transistor count (4,940 million vs null for Intel), and it includes a higher L1 cache per core at 96 KB versus 80 KB. For mobile or low-power applications, the Ryzen 3 3100U is the clear choice from the data.
The Intel Processor 300 wins on raw specifications that are recorded. It offers 4 threads versus 2, a base clock of 3.90 GHz versus 1.90 GHz, a larger L2 cache per core (1.25 MB versus 512 KB), a larger L3 cache (6 MB versus 4 MB), and support for DDR5 memory. Its PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes is a generation ahead of AMD’s PCIe Gen 3. The Intel part also has a smaller die size at 163 mm² versus 210 mm², which may indicate manufacturing efficiency. For desktop builds requiring modern platform features, the Intel Processor 300 has specification-level advantages, though no benchmark data confirms its performance. The Intel part also has a recorded launch MSRP of $82, which is stated once here as a factual data point.
