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

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U is faster 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 7 PRO 3700U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 2300X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Also, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. 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.
