Error Margin
We adopted a 4% error margin. Thus, differences below 4% cannot be considered relevant. In other words, products with a performance difference below 4% should be considered as having similar performance.
PCMark 10
PCMark 10 is benchmarking software that uses real-world applications to measure computer performance. We ran the standard test, which included opening applications, web browsing, writing, photo editing, video chat, video conversion, and rendering. Let’s see the results.
On the 3DMark 10 benchmark, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 17% faster than the Pentium G4600 and 7% slower than the Core i3-8100.
3DMark
3DMark is a program with a set of several 3D benchmarks. Time Spy runs a Direct X12 simulation; Fire Strike runs a “heavy” DirectX 11 simulation, and Sky Diver also measures DirectX 11 performance but is aimed at average computers.
On Time Spy, with integrated video, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 128% faster than the Pentium G4600 and 116% faster than the Core i3-8100, but it was 22% slower than with the GeForce GT 1030.
On the Fire Strike benchmark, with integrated video, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 130% faster than the Pentium G4600 and 122% faster than the Core i3-8100, but it was 25% slower than with the GeForce GT 1030.
On the Sky Diver benchmark, with integrated video, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 108% faster than the Pentium G4600 and 90% faster than the Core i3-8100, but it was 18% slower than with the GeForce GT 1030.
On the Cloud Gate benchmark, with integrated video, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 62% faster than the Pentium G4600 and 37% faster than the Core i3-8100, but it was 12% slower than with the GeForce GT 1030.
