Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i5-7300U benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 2300U is faster than the Core i5-7300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7300U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 3 2300U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7300U. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2300U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-7300U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i5-7300U 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.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
