AMD Ryzen 3 2300U vs Intel Core i7-4770K

Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i7-4770K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770K 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4770K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4770K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770K 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 i7-4770K. Despite this, the Core i7-4770K has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U.

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.
