AMD Ryzen 3 4100 desktop processor (4 cores/8 threads, 6 MB cache, up to 4.0 GHz max. Boost)

Product Information

The safest strategy for consistent gaming performance with a basic cooler is to get a higher base clock speed processor.

The TDP of the AMD Ryzen 3 4100 is 65 watts, but the processor can also be operated in an energy-saving manner with lower TDPs down to 45 watts. Geekbench 6 (Single-Core)Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. With EA Play, members get instant access to a collection of EA’s best-loved series and top titles, exclusive in-game challenges and rewards, special member-only content and trials of selected games for up to 10 hours. We have also got a confirmation that the AMD's Radeon RX 6*50 XT refresh GPUs will also be unveiled on the 20th of April. We strive to provide accurate and helpful information on various technology products and services to empower our readers to make informed decisions.

This article helps you make an informed decision by comparing the CPU's attributes, such as the core types, core counts, frequencies, cache capacities, overclocking capabilities, PCIe support, and DDR support. The GeForce GTX 1650 is built with the breakthrough graphics performance of the award-winning NVIDIA Turing architecture. In contrast, Intel's non-K models only support memory overclocking, though Intel's nonsensical decision to keep certain voltages locked still restricts memory overclocking headroom. We only publish benchmark results that have been created by us or that have been submitted by a visitor and then checked by a team member. Based on our evaluation, the 4100 CPU's support for overclocking can be excellent for performance with the latest graphics-intense games.

As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd. Find out if AMD's Ryzen 5 7600X processor is good for gaming based on our evaluation and comparison in terms of core type, core count, frequencies, and cache capacity, along with its overclocking, PCIe, and DDR support. For communication with other components in the computer, Ryzen 3 4100 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. As for the other Ryzen mainstream chips, those are expected to be announced on the 15th of March but will come to retail shelves slightly earlier on the 4th of April.These parameters indirectly say of CPU speed, though for more precise assessment you have to consider their test results. VIP Computer Centre Limited T/A Stormforce Gaming is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646). GeekBench 5 Multi-Core is a cross-platform application developed in the form of CPU tests that independently recreate certain real-world tasks with which to accurately measure performance. Geekbench 5, 64bit (Single-Core)Geekbench 5 is a cross plattform benchmark that heavily uses the systems memory. The AMD Ryzen 3 4100 has 4 CPU cores of the same size which, thanks to the support of AMDs SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) technology, can process 8 threads (two per CPU core) at the same time.

The new AMD chips came as part of the company's broader launch of seven new Ryzen 5000 models that aim to shore up its rankings in CPU benchmarks and retake its position on the Best CPUs for gaming list.As a result, this chip will make a great pairing for older, lower-end AM4 motherboards (you definitely don't want to pay for functionality you don't need by pairing it with a PCIe 4. Additional considerations like integrated graphics and overclocking needs may also influence your selection. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently. While we felt a sense of excitement and anticipation when we pushed the limits of our CPU's performance, it's essential to remember that overclocking comes with the risk of damaging your system components or voiding warranties.

Increased core counts can improve the performance of games that use them, but most modern games don't benefit from having more than 6–8 cores.All PC-related content is welcome, including build help, tech support, and any doubt one might have about PC ownership. We've experienced that single-core performance is essential for some games, as many don't take full advantage of multiple cores. However, overclocking may introduce some possibility of system instability, which may be less acceptable in business scenarios.
