Core i7-6700 vs Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U is faster than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U. Also, the Core i7-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U outputs less heat than Core i7-6700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 PRO 4450U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U.

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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
