Core i9-8950HK vs Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-8950HK is faster than the Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i9-8950HK has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-8950HK CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 3200G.

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. Indeed, the Core i9-8950HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
