Duel of processors: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 vs. Intel Core i3-10100

Extra tests, Processors | | Tomáš Brestovanský

Encryption, encoding and memory tests

A year has passed since the introduction of AMD’s Ryzen third generation, but the product line was still not complete. We were waiting for the lowest line to be refreshed with the designation Ryzen 3. In the meantime, the 10th generation of Intel Core processors has been released, including new i3 SKUs. We got novelties from both manufacturers, namely Ryzen 3 3100 and Core i3-10100. Which one is better?

Encryption



In encryption, Ryzen clearly has the upper hand, by 8–15%.

Encoding


Surprisingly, video encoding is also better on Ryzen, although this is an area where Intel was usually stronger.

Memory tests




Reading and copying is won by 3100, but writing is only half the speed of Intel, which is due to the architecture of the processor. Latency is usually worse on Ryzen.

Windows 11 stops working on more processors, requires SSE4.2

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

This year, the vague uncertainty about Windows 11 not supporting older computers turned into reality, as the OS began using the POPCNT instruction, causing it to stop working on many processors. However, this was not all and the requirements may increase further. In fact, now Windows 11 is starting to require additional instruction set extensions that will shut down more processor families, including Phenoms and the first APUs.

RDNA 4 Radeon GPUs: specs and performance of both chips leaked

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Previously, new GPU generations were coming in 2-year cycles, which would mean a launch this fall. However, Nvidia’s roadmap has put the GeForce RTX 5000 launch into 2025 some time ago. AMD is still unclear on the launch date of Radeon RX 8000s, but there’s some chance it’s within this year. The specs of these GPUs using RDNA 4 architecture have now surfaced on the internet. If they are real, it might even point to a release relatively soon. Read more “RDNA 4 Radeon GPUs: specs and performance of both chips leaked” »

AMD to produce lowend CPUs and GPUs using Samsung’s 4nm node

Graphics, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

Back when the groundbreaking Ryzen processors launched, AMD was still manufacturing almost all of its products at GlobalFoundries, with the exception of chipsets designed by ASMedia. But now, by contrast, it is almost fully tied to the fortunes of TSMC. However, it looks like there could soon be some diversification in place. Samsung-made chips are coming to low-cost processors and they’ll also appear in Radeon graphics cards later. Read more “AMD to produce lowend CPUs and GPUs using Samsung’s 4nm node” »
