The [recently announced](https://technosports.co.in/2020/04/21/amd-ryzen-3-3300x-and-3100-launched-120-for-4-3ghz-along-with-b550-chipset/)entry-level quad-core Ryzen 3 3100 has been impressing all of us in the leaked benchmarks. AMD’s 7nm Zen 2 architecture is the major performance booster of the CPU which will go on retail at just $99.

Being an unlocked CPU it can be overclocked well enough if it meets proper cooling requirements. The Ryzen 3 3100 with its 8 logical cores/ threads has a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz and 3.9 GHz boost clock speed.

Recently, [@TUM_APISAK](https://twitter.com/TUM_APISAK/status/1255314075493584896) discovered a leaked benchmark where we see this entry-level CPU running at a whopping 4.60 GHz at Geekbench 5. It managed to score as high as 1325 points in single-core and 5669 in multi-core tests.

In normal conditions, the chip manages to grab 1,095 points in single-core and 4,507 points in multi-core benchmarks. You can overclock the Ryzen 3 3100 much higher than expected and some other benchmarks also prove that too like it reached up to 4.20 GHz on all cores on [Geekbench 4.4](https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15439332).

On the hand, it achieved a 4.50 GHz on both 3DMark’s [Fire Strike Extreme](https://twitter.com/_rogame/status/1255213456116121602) and [Time Spy](https://twitter.com/_rogame/status/1255216595879763976) benchmarks. So even though being an underclocked quad core CPU, the possibilities are huge, at just $99 price the 7nm processor has more to offer which will be interesting to see if Intel can match up to.
