Intel Core 3 processor 100U vs AMD Opteron 3280

Intel Core 3 processor 100U or AMD Opteron 3280 - which processor is faster? In this comparison we look at the differences and analyze which of these two CPUs is better. We compare the technical data and benchmark results.

The Intel Core 3 processor 100U has 6 cores with 8 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 4.70 GHz. Up to 96 GB of memory is supported in 2 memory channels. The Intel Core 3 processor 100U was released in Q1/2024.

The AMD Opteron 3280 has 8 cores with 8 threads and clocks with a maximum frequency of 3.50 GHz. The CPU supports up to GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The AMD Opteron 3280 was released in Q1/2012.

The Intel Core 3 processor 100U has 6 CPU cores and can calculate 8 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the Intel Core 3 processor 100U is 1.20 GHz (4.70 GHz) while the AMD Opteron 3280 has 8 CPU cores and 8 threads can calculate simultaneously. The clock frequency of the AMD Opteron 3280 is at 2.40 GHz (3.50 GHz).

The performance values of the processor's AI unit. The isolated NPU performance is specified here, the total AI performance (NPU+CPU+iGPU) can be higher. Processors with support for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors.

The Intel Core 3 processor 100U or AMD Opteron 3280 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

The Intel Core 3 processor 100U can use up to 96 GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s. The AMD Opteron 3280 supports up to GB of memory in 2 memory channels and achieves a memory bandwidth of up to 29.9 GB/s.

The thermal design power (TDP for short) of the Intel Core 3 processor 100U is 15 W, while the AMD Opteron 3280 has a TDP of 65 W. The TDP specifies the necessary cooling solution that is required to cool the processor sufficiently.

The Intel Core 3 processor 100U is manufactured in 10 nm and has 10.00 MB cache. The AMD Opteron 3280 is manufactured in 32 nm and has a 8.00 MB cache.
