Ryzen 3 2200G vs Core i3-8300 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8300 is faster than the Ryzen 3 2200G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200G in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2200G. The Core i3-8300 outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 2200G thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 3 2200G has more L2 cache than the Core i3-8300. Despite this, the Core i3-8300 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2200G.

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 2200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
