Ryzen 3 1200 vs Core i7-7660U comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 1200 is faster than the Core i7-7660U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7660U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 3 1200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-7660U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7660U. Despite this, the Core i7-7660U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-7660U outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 1200 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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 Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
