AMD Ryzen 3 3300X vs Intel Core i7-8700K

Ryzen 3 3300X vs Core i7-8700K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8700K is faster than the Ryzen 3 3300X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 3300X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8700K has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3300X that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3300X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700K. Despite this, the Core i7-8700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3300X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 3300X has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8700K. The Ryzen 3 3300X also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
