AMD Ryzen 3 3200U vs Intel Core i7-7660U

Ryzen 3 3200U vs Core i7-7660U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7660U 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7660U. Despite this, the Core i7-7660U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
