Core i7-8650U vs Ryzen 5 7430U benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7430U beats the Core i7-8650U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8650U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 7430U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-8650U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8650U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7430U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8650U. Also, the Ryzen 5 7430U 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 Ryzen 5 7430U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8650U. The Ryzen 5 7430U also has significantly more 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 i7-8650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
