Ryzen 3 3300U vs Core i7-4790K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4790K is faster than the Ryzen 3 3300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3300U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4790K has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4790K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3300U. Also, the Core i7-4790K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4790K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
