Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i5-4460S specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 2300U is faster than the Core i5-4460S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460S in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4460S has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 2300U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4460S CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
