Ryzen 3 3250U vs Core i3-4130 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3250U performs better than the Core i3-4130. Despite this, the Core i3-4130 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4130 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3250U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-4130. The Ryzen 3 3250U also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
