Ryzen 3 1300X vs Pentium G3250 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 1300X is faster than the Pentium G3250. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3250 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 3 1300X has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G3250 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3250. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3250. The Pentium G3250 outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 1300X thanks to a slightly 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.
