Ryzen 3 3250U vs Core i5-4210M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3250U performs better than the Core i5-4210M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4210M 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. Both the Ryzen 3 3250U and Core i5-4210M have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3250U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4210M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
