Ryzen 3 2300U vs Ryzen 3 3300X benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3300X performs better than the Ryzen 3 2300U. 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 Ryzen 3 3300X has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 3 3300X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 3 3300X 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.
