Ryzen 3 2200U vs FX-8120 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-8120 is faster than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the FX-8120 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 2200U has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Our comparison shows that the FX-8120 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U. A Ryzen 3 2200U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8120 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the FX-8120 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U. The FX-8120 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
