Ryzen 3 2300X vs Core i7-3770K benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 2300X performs better than the Core i7-3770K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3770K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3770K has more threads. Both the Ryzen 3 2300X and Core i7-3770K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3770K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
