Ryzen 3 1300X vs Core i7-3820QM comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 1300X is faster than the Core i7-3820QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3820QM in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-3820QM has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3820QM. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i7-3820QM 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.

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.
