AMD Ryzen 3 1200 vs Intel Core m3-6Y30

Ryzen 3 1200 vs Core m3-6Y30 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 1200 performs better than the Core m3-6Y30. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core m3-6Y30 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 m3-6Y30 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1200 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core m3-6Y30. Also, the Ryzen 3 1200 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core m3-6Y30 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 1200 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core m3-6Y30. The Ryzen 3 1200 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
