Overview
SummaryThe AMD Ryzen 3 4100 is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Zen 2 architecture (7 nm process). It launched in Apr 2022. Clocks run from 3.8 GHz base to 4.0 GHz boost. A 4-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.6 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. It uses the AM4 socket. Rated TDP is 65 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD Ryzen 3 4100 scores 2,530 in single-core performance and 11,025 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,281 for overall performance, 10,708 for productivity performance, 10,618 for creator performance, 10,612 for engineering performance and 10,346 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,756 per core, 1,378 per thread and 170 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 655. Its performance index is 65, so its overall performance is 35% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 3 4100 scores 32,246 in integer math, 19,132 in floating-point math, 149,177 in compression, 9,088 in cryptography, 556 in physics simulation, 9,923 in vector SIMD, 23 in the prime sieve and 15,708 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 45% below in integer math, 58% below in floating-point math, 35% below in compression, 21% below in cryptography, 49% below in physics simulation, 36% below in vector SIMD, 66% below in the prime sieve and 31% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
