Ryzen 3 3250U vs Core i5-6300HQ specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6300HQ beats the Ryzen 3 3250U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3250U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6300HQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3250U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ. Also, the Ryzen 3 3250U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6300HQ 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.
