Core i3-1005G1 vs Ryzen 3 7320U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 7320U performs better than the Core i3-1005G1. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1005G1 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 3 7320U has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-1005G1 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1005G1. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 7320U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1005G1. Also, the Ryzen 3 7320U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 7320U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-1005G1. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-1005G1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
