AMD Ryzen 3 3200G vs Intel Core i5-8250U

Ryzen 3 3200G vs Core i5-8250U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3200G performs better than the Core i5-8250U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8250U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8250U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8250U. The Core i5-8250U outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 3200G thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200G has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8250U. Despite this, the Core i5-8250U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 3200G.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 3 3200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
