Ryzen 3 2200U vs Core i7-6500U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 2200U performs better than the Core i7-6500U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6500U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Ryzen 3 2200U and Core i7-6500U have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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