Ryzen 3 2300U vs Ryzen 3 2300X benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 2300X 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 and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 3 2300X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 3 2300X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
