Ryzen 3 3300U vs Core i7-8665U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8665U beats the Ryzen 3 3300U in overall performance. 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 i7-8665U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8665U. Despite this, the Core i7-8665U 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.

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.
