Core i3-8300 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8300 is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8300. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-8300. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8300. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U. The Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U outputs less heat than Core i3-8300 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has more L2 cache than the Core i3-8300. The Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i3-8300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
