Ryzen 3 2200G vs Core i5-3550 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 2200G beats the Core i5-3550 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3550 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 2200G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3550. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 3 2200G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3550 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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