Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i5-6600T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6600T performs better than the Ryzen 3 2300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2300U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i5-6600T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6600T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
