Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i7-8565U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8565U is faster than the Ryzen 3 2300U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2300U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-8565U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 2300U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8565U. Despite this, the Core i7-8565U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i7-8565U. Despite this, the Core i7-8565U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U.

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.
