AMD Ryzen 3 2200U vs Intel Core i7-7500U

Ryzen 3 2200U vs Core i7-7500U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 2200U beats the Core i7-7500U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-7500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U. Also, the Core i7-7500U 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.
