Ryzen 3 3300X vs Core i7-8850H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 3300X is faster than the Core i7-8850H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8850H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8850H 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 significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8850H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i7-8850H outputs less heat than Ryzen 3 3300X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3300X has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8850H. 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.
