Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i7-3820 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3820 is faster than the Ryzen 3 2300U. 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 but the Core i7-3820 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3820 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i7-3820 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3820 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.
