Ryzen 3 3300U vs Core i5-8265U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8265U performs better than the Ryzen 3 3300U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3300U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8265U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300U has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 3300U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 3 3300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
