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

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?

AMD Ryzen 3 3100 has proven to be a universally more powerful processor and also offers a better price. Any office work, multitasking or rendering will be faster on it. Surprisingly, however, you have to be aware of a slightly higher power draw than in the case of Intel which I really did not expect. Although, again, the difference in motherboards and chipsets must be taken into account.

Intel Core i3-3100 has basically only two advantages, namely integrated graphics and higher performance in games. You will especially appreciate the first benefit if you do not want to invest in a dedicated graphics card and you want the cheapest and/or the smallest possible computer. A dedicated graphics card is a must for Ryzen. Integrated graphics can also be used in some programs for HW acceleration which again is not possible on Ryzen. Higher performance in games is valid only if you try to get the highest possible fps at lower resolution and graphics settings. If you want to play in 4K ultra, the bottleneck will be your graphics card (not the processor) and the results of both will be the same. This means that in CS:GO with a strong GPU, you will achieve a few fps more on Intel.
