Ryzen 3 3250U vs Core i7-11700K specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-11700K performs better than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3250U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-11700K has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3250U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-11700K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Also, the Core i7-11700K has a much higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11700K 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 Core i7-11700K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U. The Core i7-11700K also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
