Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i7-3820QM comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 2300U performs better than the Core i7-3820QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3820QM in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-3820QM has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3820QM has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i7-3820QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3820QM CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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.
