Cache | 4 MB Cache | 4 MB Cache |
TDP / up / down | 15W / 25W / 10W | 15W / 25W / 10W |
Memory support | DDR4-3200MHz, LPDDR4-4266MHz | DDR4-2666MHz, LPDDR3-2133MHz, LPDDR4-2933MHz |
CPU Benchmark
In our first benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 crushes the Core i3-10110U and gets much better results.
Results are from the Cinebench 20 CPU test (the higher the score, the better)
Results are from our Photoshop benchmark test (the lower the score, the better)
GPU Benchmark
Again, in our GPU benchmarks, the Intel Core i3-10110U does significantly worse than the Ryzen 3 4300U. On average, Ryzen 3 has two times the performance of the Core i3.
Results are from the 3DMark: Time Spy (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the 3DMark: Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)

Intel Core i3-10110U | 59 fps | 29 fps | – |
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.
