In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8700T has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 2300X. Indeed, the Core i7-8700T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 2300X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 2300X. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700T. Also, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-8700T outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 2300X thanks to a significantly 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 i7-8700T. Despite this, the Core i7-8700T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2300X.

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.
