When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6498DU has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3250U. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3250U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-6498DU. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
