Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2100GE

Core i5-6300HQ vs Ryzen 3 PRO 2100GE comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 PRO 2100GE beats the Core i5-6300HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6300HQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 2100GE that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 PRO 2100GE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ.

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 i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
