AMD Ryzen 3 3100U vs Intel Processor 300T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not contain any direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U and the Intel Processor 300T. The head-to-head field is empty, and the Intel Processor 300T has no individual benchmark entries in the database. Consequently, a direct comparison of scores across identical workloads cannot be made from the available measurements. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U, however, has a full set of PassMark results, which can be read against its own nearest rivals in the database.

The Ryzen 3 3100U posts an average benchmark score of 6247, which places it at the 62nd percentile of all CPUs tracked. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, which scores 6231 on average, placing the 3100U 0.3% higher. Against the AMD EPYC 7272, which averages 6186, the Ryzen 3 3100U leads by 1%. The Intel Core i9-7940X, with an average of 6147, trails the 3100U by 1.6%. Conversely, the Intel Core i9-10920X, averaging 6347, sits 1.6% ahead of the Ryzen 3 3100U. These deltas are small, indicating that the 3100U's aggregate performance clusters tightly with high-end desktop and server parts from several generations earlier, despite its mobile and low-power positioning.

Within the individual PassMark workloads, the Ryzen 3 3100U shows notable strengths in data compression, scoring 38455. This is its highest single-workload result and suggests strong throughput in memory-bound compression tasks. Integer math scores 8873, while floating-point math reaches 5854. Random string sorting yields 4666, and extended instructions score 2116. Data encryption records 1972. The single-thread score is 1592, while the multithread score is 3348, roughly double the single-thread figure, consistent with a dual-core part without simultaneous multithreading. The physics workload scores 232, and the find prime numbers workload scores 18, both representing lower-intensity integer tasks.

Because the Intel Processor 300T lacks recorded benchmark scores, its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and it holds a 50th percentile ranking. This percentile, while lower than the 3100U's 62nd percentile, cannot be interpreted as a performance deficit in workload-specific terms without actual scores. The database simply has no measurements for the Intel part to compare directly. Readers should treat any performance inference about the 300T as unsupported by benchmark evidence in this dataset.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different market segments and use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is a mobile processor from the 3000 series, built on the Zen+ (Picasso) architecture. It uses a 12 nm process node manufactured by GlobalFoundries. The chip contains 4,940 million transistors on a 210 mm² die. The Intel Processor 300T is a desktop part based on Raptor Lake architecture, built on a 10 nm process node manufactured by Intel. Its die size is 163 mm², and its transistor count is not recorded in the database.

Core and thread counts differ. Both processors have 2 physical cores, but the Ryzen 3 3100U supports 2 threads, meaning it has no simultaneous multithreading. The Intel Processor 300T supports 4 threads, indicating that it implements Intel's hyper-threading technology, which doubles thread count over physical cores. This difference suggests that the Intel part can handle more concurrent software threads, though no direct benchmark confirms the performance impact.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The Ryzen 3 3100U carries 96 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Processor 300T has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part therefore has more L2 and L3 capacity per core, while the AMD part has more L1 per core. The total L3 difference is 4 MB versus 6 MB, a 50% advantage for Intel in shared cache.

Clock behavior is another separator. The Ryzen 3 3100U has a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 3.20 GHz. The Intel Processor 300T has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and no boost clock listed in the database. The Intel part's base clock is substantially higher than the AMD part's boost clock, indicating a significant frequency advantage in sustained operation, although the absence of a boost figure for Intel limits a full comparison.

Power and platform targets diverge sharply. The Ryzen 3 3100U has a TDP of 15 watts, while the Intel Processor 300T has a TDP of 35 watts. The AMD part is designed for mobile use, fitting AMD Socket FP5, whereas the Intel part is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700. The Ryzen 3 3100U supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with a recorded memory bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s. The Intel Processor 300T supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded. Neither part supports ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ as well. The Ryzen 3 3100U uses PCIe Gen 3, while the Intel Processor 300T supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes on the CPU. The integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon Vega 8, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 710. The Ryzen 3 3100U was released in the database with a recorded release date of 2026-05-31, while the Intel Processor 300T has a release date of 2024-01-07. Both parts are listed as active in production. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The release dates indicate the Intel part came to market earlier, though both are currently available.

The process node difference, 12 nm for AMD versus 10 nm for Intel, combined with the desktop versus mobile segmentation, explains part of the power and clock disparity. The Intel part's higher base clock and 35 W TDP reflect a desktop thermal envelope, while the AMD part's 15 W TDP targets thin-and-light laptops.

The Verdict

The database offers a clear but lopsided picture. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U has extensive benchmark coverage, with an average score of 6247 and a 62nd percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and AMD EPYC 7272, are separated by less than 1%, which places the 3100U in competitive standing against much larger desktop and server processors in aggregate throughput. The Intel Processor 300T, by contrast, has zero recorded benchmark scores, an average of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking. No performance conclusion can be drawn for the Intel part from this dataset.

The architectural data favors the Intel Processor 300T in several structural aspects. It has a higher base clock (3.40 GHz versus 1.90 GHz), more threads (4 versus 2), more L3 cache (6 MB versus 4 MB), and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. It also uses PCIe Gen 5, whereas the AMD part uses PCIe Gen 3. These specifications indicate a more capable desktop platform on paper. However, the absence of benchmark results means those specifications are not validated by measured performance in the database.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U, on the other hand, demonstrates its performance through recorded measurements. Its 15 W TDP and mobile socket make it appropriate for low-power portable systems, and its benchmark scores show it can compete with far higher-power parts in aggregate workloads. The Intel Processor 300T, with a 35 W TDP and desktop socket, targets a different use case entirely.

For a user selecting based on recorded data alone, the Ryzen 3 3100U is the only part with verifiable performance. For a user prioritizing platform features such as memory type flexibility, PCIe generation, and thread count, the Intel Processor 300T offers advantages, but those advantages lack empirical support in this dataset. The verdict is conditional: the AMD part is the proven performer, while the Intel part is a specification sheet without measured results.
