Ryzen 3 2300U vs Core i7-8650U benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 2300U performs better than the Core i7-8650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8650U in all gaming tests too.
Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8650U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8650U. Despite this, the Core i7-8650U 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2300U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8650U. Despite this, the Core i7-8650U 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.
