Ryzen 3 2200G vs Core i7-3940XM specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3940XM beats the Ryzen 3 2200G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2200G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-3940XM has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 2200G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3940XM. Despite this, the Core i7-3940XM has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-3940XM 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2200G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-3940XM. Despite this, the Core i7-3940XM 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.
