Ryzen 3 2200U vs A8-9600 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A8-9600 performs better than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A8-9600 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-9600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-9600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the A8-9600 has more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 2200U

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
