Ryzen 3 2300X vs Core i3-10300 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-10300 is faster than the Ryzen 3 2300X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2300X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-10300 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300X. Also, the Core i3-10300 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 2300X has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-10300. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 2300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
