Ryzen 3 1300X vs Ryzen 5 3400G comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3400G performs better than the Ryzen 3 1300X. 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 Ryzen 5 3400G has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 1300X. Also, the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 3 1300X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
