Ryzen 3 3250U vs Core i5-2300 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-2300 is faster than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3250U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-2300 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Indeed, the Core i5-2300 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3250U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3250U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2300 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
