Ryzen 3 1300X vs Ryzen 5 3550H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3550H is faster than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1300X in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 5 3550H 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 3 1300X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
