CPU ZLib is a compression benchmark that tests the combined CPU and memory performance.

CPU PhotoWorxx tests the SIMD integer arithmetic execution units of the CPU and the memory subsystem. The AIDA64 suite has various benchmarks for CPU, FPU and memory testing: CPU Queen is an integer benchmark that tests branch prediction and misprediction penalties. CPUįor those running an i3-6100 or on an FX platform, these benchmarks should give an overview how much advantage moving to the new platform provides and if it offers considerable value. Although older than the current generation Kaby Lake i3-7100, it is still similarly priced (since Intel does not really drop prices even when the new generation comes out) and should still pose quite the challenge to the Ryzen 3’s, especially in single thread applications. The i3-6100 is the previous generation Skylake i3. They are still available for $25 less without the cooler.

The new Ryzen 3 directly replaces the FX-6350 and FX-8350 within the same price point, the latter two priced with their bundled Wraith cooler as well.
