Pentium Silver N5030 vs Ryzen 7 7730U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 7730U is faster than the Pentium Silver N5030. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5030 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 7730U has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Pentium Silver N5030 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium Silver N5030. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7730U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver N5030.

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. For instance, the Pentium Silver N5030 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
