Ryzen 3 3200U vs Core i5-3550S specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3550S is faster than the Ryzen 3 3200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3200U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-3550S has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 3200U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3550S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3200U. Also, the Core i5-3550S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3550S CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
