Ryzen 3 2200G vs Core i5-8259U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 2200G beats the Core i5-8259U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8259U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-8259U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 2200G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8259U outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 2200G 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, the Ryzen 3 2200G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2200G.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
