Ryzen 3 3200U vs A8-9600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A8-9600 beats the Ryzen 3 3200U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3200U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A8-9600 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3200U. Indeed, the A8-9600 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3200U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A8-9600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3200U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3200U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-9600 CPU because of its 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 A8-9600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 3200U

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
