Ryzen 3 3300U vs Core i5-4590S benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 3300U is faster than the Core i5-4590S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590S 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4590S has a much higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3300U. Also, the Core i5-4590S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4590S 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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 3300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
