Ryzen 3 1300X vs Core i7-8665U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 1300X performs better than the Core i7-8665U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8665U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-8665U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8665U. Despite this, the Core i7-8665U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-8665U 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
