Ryzen 3 1300X vs Core i5-4670K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 1300X beats the Core i5-4670K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4670K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4670K. Despite this, the Core i5-4670K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 1300X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 3 1300X has more L2 cache than the Core i5-4670K. The Ryzen 3 1300X also has slightly 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.
