Ryzen 3 2300X vs Core i7-4770 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770 is faster than the Ryzen 3 2300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4770 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4770. Also, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4770 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 3 2300X has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4770. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 2300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
