Today we have a classic showdown between the Red Team and the Blue Team. In this comparison, we have the AMD Ryzen 3 4300U versus the Intel Core i3-10110U. These two CPUs are both entry-level CPUs for mobile devices that specialize in low power consumption. We are going to see which CPU performs better.

More detailed specs here: AMD Ryzen 3 4300U / Intel Core i3-10110U

Specifications

In terms of raw power, both CPUs have pretty standard specifications. The only major difference between them is that the Intel has 2 cores and 4 threads whereas the Ryzen has 4 cores and 4 threads.

Conclusion

All things considered, the Ryzen 3 4300U does a lot better than the Core i3-10110U. In both CPU and iGPU performance, the former is roughly two times faster than the latter, which is a huge difference, considering the similar price range of both processors. Hopefully, Intel will step away from the 14nm process, that they are using for quite a lot of time now because clearly, the Red company is harvesting on their 7nm success.

Both of these CPUs are in our Top Laptop CPU Ranking.
