Ryzen 3 2200G vs Core i7-4790 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4790 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4790 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2200G. Also, the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790 CPU because of its 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 i7-4790. Despite this, the Core i7-4790 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.
