AMD Ryzen 3 3300U vs Intel Processor N100

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300U is a mobile processor from AMD, based on the Zen+ architecture (Picasso), manufactured using a 12 nm process.

It offers 4 cores and 8 threads, 4 MB of Level 3 Cache, and an AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 (Raven Ridge) graphics unit. Its memory bandwidth is 38 GB/s. The Intel Processor N100 is an Intel processor with Alder Lake N architecture, manufactured using a 10 nm process.

It features 4 cores and 4 threads, 4 MB of Level 2 and 6 MB of Level 3 Cache, and an Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs (Alder Lake) graphics unit. Its memory bandwidth is also 38 GB/s. In performance tests, the Intel Processor N100 consistently shows better single-core and multi-core performance thanks to its more modern architecture.

Both are only marginally suitable for gaming; however, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 of the AMD Ryzen 3 3300U usually offers slightly more performance for light games than the Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs. The Intel Processor N100 is also characterized by a significantly lower TDP and higher energy efficiency.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300U has a higher TDP. In terms of price, the N100 can be found in newer devices, while the 3300U is in older budget laptops. The Intel Processor N100 is the better choice for modern productivity and energy efficiency. The AMD Ryzen 3 3300U is suitable for multitasking with more threads and slightly better graphics performance in very light games.
