Ryzen 3 1200 vs Core i7-3770K benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3770K performs better than the Ryzen 3 1200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-3770K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 1200. Also, the Core i7-3770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 1200 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3770K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
