Ryzen 3 2200G vs Core i7-8650U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 2200G performs better than the Core i7-8650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8650U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-8650U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 2200G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8650U. Despite this, the Core i7-8650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-8650U 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 i7-8650U. Despite this, the Core i7-8650U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2200G.

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.
