Core i3-N305 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-N305 performs better 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 Core i3-N305 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has more threads than the Core i3-N305. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-N305. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U 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. In terms of cache, the Core i3-N305 has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-N305.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i3-N305 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
