Ryzen 3 1300X vs Core i5-8365U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8365U beats the Ryzen 3 1300X in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1300X in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8365U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8365U. Despite this, the Core i5-8365U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8365U outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 1300X 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 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
