Ryzen 3 1300X vs Ryzen 7 3700U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 3700U beats the Ryzen 3 1300X in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 7 3700U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U. The Ryzen 7 3700U 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. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same 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.
