AMD Ryzen 3 4100 Quad-Core Desktop Processor

The AMD Ryzen 3 4100 delivers Zen 2 architecture performance for budget-conscious PC builders and gamers. This quad-core processor features 8 threads with a base clock of 3.8GHz and boost speeds up to 4.0GHz, providing reliable performance for gaming, productivity, and everyday computing tasks.

Core Performance Specifications

Built on TSMC's 7nm FinFET process technology, the Ryzen 3 4100 combines 4 CPU cores with simultaneous multithreading (SMT) for 8 processing threads. The processor includes 256KB L1 cache, 2MB L2 cache, and 4MB L3 cache for efficient data handling. With a 65W TDP, this processor maintains energy efficiency while delivering consistent performance. Precision Boost 2 technology automatically adjusts frequencies based on temperature and power consumption to maximize performance.

Platform Compatibility

The AM4 socket design ensures compatibility with AMD 500, 400, and select 300 series motherboards including X570, X470, B550, B450, B350, A520, and A320 chipsets with a BIOS update. The processor supports PCIe 3.0 with 24 native lanes (20 usable), dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 3200MHz with maximum capacity of 128GB, and includes 4 native USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports plus 2 SATA ports.

Included AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler

Each processor comes with the AMD Wraith Stealth thermal solution, featuring low-profile design with near-silent acoustics and capable thermal performance for stock operation. The cooler is pre-tested to handle the 65W TDP with maximum operating temperature (Tjmax) of 95°C.

Overclocking and Customization

The Ryzen 3 4100 is unlocked for overclocking, allowing enthusiasts to push performance beyond stock specifications. AMD Ryzen Master software provides easy access to performance tuning, while AMD StoreMI technology enables combining SSD speed with HDD capacity for accelerated storage solutions. Precision Boost Overdrive further enhances automatic overclocking capabilities.

Technical Requirements

This processor requires a discrete graphics card as it does not include integrated graphics. Compatible with Windows 11 and Windows 10 (64-bit), RHEL x86 64-bit, and Ubuntu x86 64-bit operating systems. Supports full x86-64 instruction set including AES, AMD-V, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, SHA, and SSE extensions for broad software compatibility.
