AMD Ryzen 3 2200U vs Intel Core i7-2760QM

Ryzen 3 2200U vs Core i7-2760QM comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-2760QM beats the Ryzen 3 2200U in overall performance. 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 Core i7-2760QM has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 2200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2760QM. Despite this, the Core i7-2760QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2760QM CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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