Ryzen 3 2300X vs Ryzen 7 3700U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 2300X performs better than the Ryzen 7 3700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 3700U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 7 3700U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 2300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U. The Ryzen 7 3700U 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.

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.
