Ryzen 3 1200 vs Core i7-8665U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8665U is faster than the Ryzen 3 1200. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-8665U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 1200 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8665U. Despite this, the Core i7-8665U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-8665U 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.

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.
