Ryzen 3 2300X vs Ryzen 5 3550H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3550H performs better than the Ryzen 3 2300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 2300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 3550H 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 3 2300X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
