Ryzen 3 3200G vs Core i5-12600K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12600K beats the Ryzen 3 3200G in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3200G in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12600K has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3200G. Indeed, the Core i5-12600K has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3200G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3200G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-12600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3200G. Also, the Core i5-12600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3200G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 3200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
