Core i9-9980HK vs Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-9980HK beats the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-9980HK has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i9-9980HK. A Core i9-9980HK CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i9-9980HK 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 i9-9980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
