Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i7-6820HK benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6820HK 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-6820HK has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6820HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i7-6820HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6820HK 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.
