Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i5-7600 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7600 beats the Ryzen 3 2300U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2300U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-7600 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 Ryzen 3 2300U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7600. Despite this, the Core i5-7600 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U.

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.
