Ryzen 3 1300X vs Ryzen 9 7950X3D benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D 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.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D has significantly more cores with 16 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 1300X has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 1300X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Also, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 1300X CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 1300X. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D 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.
