Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i7-6820HQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6820HQ 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-6820HQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6820HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Core i7-6820HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-6820HQ CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
