Intel Core i3-7102E vs AMD 3020e

Processor comparisons   20-01-2022
   Perhaps you can't decide which CPU to buy, you can make a choice after reading the detailed tests Intel Core i3-7102E vs AMD 3020e and understand which is better for games or simple use for streaming, programming, video editing, rendering, machine learning. Here you can find useful information from several benchmarks or real streaming and video editing tests. A thorough review of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in synthetic type tests such as WPrime, VeraCrypt, Blender, RealBench, Furmark, Blender, SuperPi, Dolphin Emulator, AIDA64, GeekBench 6, 5.2, PassMark, PCMark 10, 3DMark, DaVinci Resolve Studio, 7zip, Handbrake, Prime95, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, UserBenchmark, Gears 5, MATLAB, Cinebench 23 (20, 15).
   And how good the processors are in games:

Apex Legends

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor at the moment. And it is clear that this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because the cost of this processor reaches several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a low game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The tested computers not only did they have different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: FullHD, 2K or 4K. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance the processor will be in games, if you get acquainted with the benchmarks that are made with the same video card that is installed in your computer.

To make a final resolution on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the 3020e is more energy efficient than the Core i3-7102E as it consumes less power: 25W vs. 6W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you need to know its TDP. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

If you want to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for programming, video rendering or video editing, machine learning, streaming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the processor uses all cores and threads that it has to the maximum to reach maximum performance. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to check whether the software you are going to use on your computer supports multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most useful. The newer the processor, the longer it will last in your computer. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in new games. It turns out that there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The savings are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Core i3-7102E is 42% better than 3020e in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i3-7102E is better: 13
The number of parameters for which AMD 3020e is better: 20
However, it should be realized that all the data in the text above do not mean that taking them into account you should completely trust a simple comparison of these numbers. Be sure to watch the video tests and read the opinion of real owners of Intel Core i3-7102E and AMD 3020e before deciding which processor to buy for gaming and which not.
