AMD Ryzen 3 4100 debuts as a compact and efficient desktop processor from AMD’s Ryzen 4000 Series, offering solid everyday performance with a 2020s-era design and integrated Wraith cooler in the boxed package.

This AMD Ryzen 3 4100 is a 4-core, 8-thread CPU built on a 7 nm process, delivering a base frequency of 3.8 GHz and a boost up to 4.0 GHz. Its 4 MB L3 cache and 65 W TDP balance power and efficiency for mainstream desktop systems.

Designed for Socket AM4 motherboards, the Ryzen 3 4100 supports DDR4-SDRAM in dual-channel mode with memory speeds of 2667, 2933 and 3200 MHz, giving responsive multitasking and smooth performance in everyday applications and light content work.

The processor targets the desktop market segment and uses PCI Express 3.0 for add-in cards. Note that the Ryzen 3 4100 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required for display output.
