Ryzen 3 1300X vs Core i7-2700K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 1300X beats the Core i7-2700K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2700K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-2700K has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 3 1300X and Core i7-2700K are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i7-2700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 1300X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
