Ryzen 3 1300X vs Core i3-1220P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1220P beats the Ryzen 3 1300X in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1220P has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 1300X that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1220P. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-1220P has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 1300X. The Core i3-1220P also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
