Ryzen 3 1200 vs Core i7-4710HQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 1200 is faster than the Core i7-4710HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4710HQ in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4710HQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 1200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4710HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4710HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4710HQ outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 1200 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
