Ryzen 3 1300X vs Ryzen 5 7520U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 1300X is faster than the Ryzen 5 7520U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7520U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 7520U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U. 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.
