Ryzen 3 3300U vs Core i7-4980HQ comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4980HQ is faster 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 i7-4980HQ has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4980HQ has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 3300U. Also, the Core i7-4980HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3300U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4980HQ 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.
